Office automation course

If this is your first office automation lesson, we start by getting to know your current equipment so that we can adapt our working methods and optimize your machine for the use you want to make of it.

Then we move on, checking that we have understood and correctly applied the various techniques taught.

We want our students to fully master the various processes, and this sometimes means repeating actions.
