Plenty of people would happily see the day last a bit longer. The stack never gets any smaller, the inbox dictates the morning, and at the end of the day that one important job has once again come to nothing. Yet everyone has the same number of hours. Time management is not about getting more of them, but about consciously choosing where they go.

This free online course is the starter for our full Time management. In de eerste drie hoofdstukken ontdek je waar je tijd feitelijk blijft en welk type tijdhanteerder je bent, leer je het verschil tussen efficiënt en effectief met de ABC-analyse, en stel je prioriteiten met het Eisenhower-model. Elk hoofdstuk sluit af met een korte kennischeck, zodat je meteen merkt of het blijft hangen.

De volledige training gaat verder met andere manieren van prioriteren, plannen volgens de ALPEN-methode, doelen stellen met SMART, je mailbox en werkplek op orde, grenzen aangeven en nee zeggen, delegeren, uitstelgedrag, stress en de RET-methodiek, en een persoonlijk actieplan. Wil je die hoofdstukken doen met een ervaren trainer erbij, en met je eigen agenda op tafel? Bekijk dan de training Timemanagement.

What participants say about Learnit

I found the 'Interview Techniques' course to be good. Nothing to fault. It was also good that Job called beforehand for a short preliminary discussion. You don't see that very often. A very worthwhile course. It also had a strong element of repetition. Plenty of variety, including between theory and practice. Learned a lot, and applied it straight away during the course. And I think these learnings will also help me further when conducting interviews.

We took the Outlook, Teams and OneNote course with Roy Nieuwenhuijzen. Good content, and a few days before the course he got in touch with me (coordinator of the course, head of the secretariat). Pleasant that you can fill in the day itself as needed. The booklet for reference is rather dated, but apparently there is little up-to-date material to be found.

In May 2024 I took the WordPress course. As an IT enthusiast with broad but not necessarily deep knowledge, I wanted to know more about WordPress. How do you install everything and how do you start building a website. This course is extremely well suited to that. From the outset you learn in 3 days how to start a website and what to look out for. I now have a solid basis for getting to work with WordPress and I know my way around the various options. The course is recommended for anyone who wants to learn in three days what WordPress can do and how to apply it.
