What will you learn in the Visio Basics course?

You will learn to work independently with Microsoft Visio. After the course you will know the interface, work smoothly with shapes and templates, and build process charts, 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 working with Visio for the first time, or who has yet to master the basics sufficiently. Think of process managers, analysts, project staff, IT professionals, 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 register, you indicate which version you use, so that the planning can be tailored accordingly.

Do I receive a certificate on completion?

Yes, on completion you will receive a Learnit certificate of participation. This shows your employer or client that you have completed the Visio Basics course.

What course materials do I receive?

At the start you will receive a Microsoft course book with exercises and practice files. The book is yours to keep and can be used later as a reference work. Because the terminology in Visio 2013 and 2016 is largely in English, the course material is also in English.

Can I bring my own practical example?

Yes, we actively encourage it. Are you running into something in Visio at work, or would you like 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 charts, but Visio is designed specifically for visualisation. The program contains thousands of professional shapes, smart connectors that stay attached to one another, and functions for managing large, complex diagrams clearly. For process charts, 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 delivered in-company. In that case we 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 next step. Not sure about your level? Contact Learnit for advice.

You will find the current price at the top right of this course page, together with the schedule, location and delivery format. For in-company or bespoke courses we are happy to provide a quotation on request.

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.

Language

The training is given in Dutch as standard. The trainer has a good command of English. English-language course material can be used. With a minimum enrolment of 3 participants, the training can also be given entirely in English.

The best training for you

At Learnit you will always find a course that takes you further. From (technical) IT skills to communication or personal leadership. You can also choose the training format that suits you best: a classroom course, a tailor-made course at your own office, an online course or an e-learning. We have the right course and the right format for everyone. Because learning in the way that suits you best delivers the best results.

Moving forward together

Taking a training course at Learnit means learning together. Together with your experienced trainer, together with your course group or together with your colleagues. And whether you take the training at home, at your office or at one of our training locations, we are always available to help you. To share our knowledge with you in a way that is genuinely useful to you. Getting further together through personal attention and understanding each other well; that is what we believe in.

Apply it directly in your work

Learning theory from a book that you can then hardly use in your work? Not at Learnit! Whichever training you take with us, you can put it to use at your workplace straight away. Because of the unique learning objectives you set together with the trainer at the start of the training. Because of the alternation between theory and (interactive) practical assignments. And by bringing the challenges you face in your daily work along to the training.
