Visio makes complex processes, systems and structures understandable at a glance. In this course you get to know the interface and build the diagrams you need for your work yourself.
Description
You start with the layout of the Visio screen and how shapes, stencils and templates work. You then move on to practical exercises in which you build, edit and neatly print various types of diagram.
The course is suitable for Visio 2010, 2013 and 2016. When you book, you indicate which version you use, so that the planning takes this into account. Are you working with an example of your own that you are struggling with? Bring it along and you can practise with it directly during the course.
You work in a small group under the guidance of an experienced trainer, which leaves plenty of room for your questions and specific work situations.
Topics
- Layout of the Visio screen and the interface
- Working with standard shapes and drawing objects
- Editing, aligning and grouping shapes
- Placing, rotating and moving text
- Adding extra pages and setting the order
- Inserting images and variables
- Creating and adapting templates
- Printing an A3 document on A4 and vice versa
Result
After this course you will work independently with Microsoft Visio. You will know how the interface is structured, you will build diagrams using the right shapes and you will adapt templates to your own house style. From now on, you will present processes, systems and structures clearly and legibly.
Target audience
This course is intended for anyone who wants to learn to work with Visio (faster and more efficiently). Think of process managers, analysts, project staff, IT professionals, secretaries and managers who regularly create diagrams, organisation charts or floor plans and do not yet have a sufficient command of Visio's basic functions.
Teaching method
You work in a classroom setting in a small group, guided by an experienced trainer. Theory and practice alternate continuously: you learn a topic and apply it straight away in an exercise. At the start you receive a Microsoft course book with practice files, which you keep afterwards as a reference work. Because Visio 2013 and 2016 largely use English terminology, the course material is in English.
Prior knowledge
You have experience of working in a Windows environment. No specific prior knowledge of Visio is required.

What others say about this course
Visio Basics course: average 8.7 from 3 reviews
“MS Visio surprised me with its many (practical) possibilities!”
“I found the idea of one-to-one training quite daunting, but it was excellent. I had already tried a few things with the programme, but thanks to the course I can now do far more, without having to work out where things are and which buttons to use. I am going to get straight to work on writing up my manager's brainstorming sessions.”
"Excellent course if you do not know Visio at all yet. You are taken through the possibilities of Visio step by step. If you already know Visio, much of it will probably look familiar."
“A good course for learning the basics of using Visio.”

Frequently asked questions
What will you learn in the Visio Basics course?
You learn to work independently with Microsoft Visio. After the course you know the interface, work smoothly with shapes and templates, and build process diagrams, organisation charts and floor plans that you can print neatly on A3 or A4.
Who is the Visio Basics course suitable for?
The course is suitable for anyone using Visio for the first time, or for those who do not yet have a sufficient grasp of the basics. Think of process managers, analysts, project staff, IT staff, secretaries and managers who regularly create charts or diagrams.
Do I need any prior knowledge for this course?
No, specific prior knowledge of Visio is not required. It is useful, however, if you are familiar with working in a Windows environment.
Which version of Visio is covered?
The course is suitable for Visio 2010, 2013 and 2016. When you book, you indicate which version you use, so that the planning can be adapted accordingly.
Do I receive a certificate on completion?
Yes, on completion you receive a Learnit certificate of attendance. This shows your employer or client that you have attended the Visio Basics course.
What course materials do I receive?
At the start you receive a Microsoft course book with exercises and practice files. You may keep the book and can use it later as a reference work. Because the terminology in Visio 2013 and 2016 is largely in English, the course material is in English as well.
Can I bring my own practical example?
Yes, in fact we recommend it. Are you running into something in Visio in your work, or do you want to learn how to create a particular diagram? Bring it along and you can work on your own example during the course.
How large are the course groups at Learnit?
Learnit works with small groups. This leaves plenty of room for personal attention, your own questions and practising with scenarios from your own work. The trainer can respond well to the pace and learning needs of each participant.
How does Visio differ from PowerPoint or Word for diagrams?
In Word and PowerPoint you can create simple diagrams, but Visio is designed specifically for visualisation. The program contains thousands of professional shapes, smart connectors that stay attached to one another, and features for keeping large, complex diagrams manageable. For process diagrams, network drawings or floor plans, Visio is far more powerful.
Can I take this course in-company with my team?
Yes, this course can also be taken in-company. We then tailor the content to your team's work and can practise with examples from your own organisation. Request a quotation via the course page.
What is a sensible next step after the basics course?
If you have mastered the basics and want to learn how to create more complex diagrams, data links or advanced templates, a follow-up Visio course is a logical step. Not sure about your level? Contact Learnit for advice.
What does the Visio Basics course cost?
You can find the current price at the top right of this course page, along with the schedule, location and delivery format. For in-company or bespoke courses we are happy to provide a quotation on request.
