Training

Wouldn’t it be great if we knew everything about everything? There’s nobody we know that comes even close to that but we do know lots of very clever people who are at the top of the field.

They all achieved that with training, practice, guidance and access. GetToKnow IT is dedicated to establishing the knowledge, the basics, the extras and the vision for the things people need to get things done.

As qualified trainers, we can provide courses in most non-specialised applications and a few specialised ones as well. We don’t believe in on-line training – there is no substitute for the role of a trainer explaining and guiding in simple steps, the best way to do something that suits the user. Remember, there are usually a few ways to do something in an application and we all have different preferences. Even at GetToKnowIT.

We love most applications and we like to share ways to help you love them too. Most courses offered are at beginner and intermediate level. For advanced training, we assemble tailored programs to address specific needs

GetToKnowIT uses and recommends the internationally acclaimed OpenOffice. We offer courses in the following:

  • Word Processing. Open Office Writer – the alternative to Microsoft’s Word product
  • Spreadsheets. Open Office Calc – the alternative to Microsoft’s Excel
  • Presentation. Open Office Impress – the alternative to Microsoft’s Powerpoint
  • Diagramming. Open Office Draw

But of course, we do offer training in Microsoft products

We also run many courses such as Computing for beginners, Computing for the elderly, Computing for the unemployed

We offer training in most popular applications and will tailor training around your unique demands. Ask us for details.

Much is being written about ‘Cloud Computing’. It is an area that offers bright and exciting alternatives to the way things were done in the past. GetToKnowIT is continually reviewing and developing concepts to offer training that offers ways to leverage the advantages and opportunities of using the tools offered in the suites of applications from Google and  Zoho for example.
