This course will give you an introduction to the publishing tools and features of Microsoft Publisher. People who intend to design various kinds of publications using Microsoft Publisher as the software will gain great insight into the software. The course assumes no previous experience of Publisher, nor of similar design applications. Delegates should have a very clear understanding of the Windows operating system however and use of a word processor would help (especially Microsoft Word). Completing this course will confer 2 CPD Credits towards internationally recognised Continuous Professional Development Requirements within organisations operating this kind of staff development methodology.
