Next courses: Tuesday 4 October Web Creation and Design 10am-5pm £250/£215* Course leader: Caroline Doidge Websites are becoming the way to advertise your business; traditional methods are ineffectual, time consuming and expensive. This course will help you to create your own website by giving you a basic grounding in Macromedia Dreamweaver. Using Dreamweaver you will learn to create a three page website from scratch given a layout design. Delegates will be given an awareness of effective website design and usability of websites. Wednesday 12 October Ethical Influencing: an introduction 10am-5pm £250/£215* Course leader: Keith Trickey Have you ever watched your colleagues or managers walk into a mess simply because you were unable or unwilling to make your voice heard? A problem, that was obvious to you and could have been avoided? Have you ever been ?oversold? by a colleague and been effectively silenced in decision-making process? Then it is time you developed your own approach to influencing: this day will help you make an ethical start. Wednesday 19 October The Invisible Web 10am-5pm £250/£215* Course leader: Barbara Sen This course covers how to use the Internet in order to find free business information. There will be practical sessions throughout the day. While the course does cover making more effective use of the Internet generally, the examples used are largely for business information. By the end of the course delegates will be aware of the reasons why the invisible web exists and be familiar with tools for navigating it successfully. Wednesday 26 October Maximising Your Quantatitive Research Skills and Results 10am-5pm £250/£215* Course leader: Chris Murphy While the ability to create and understand quantitative information is increasingly prized and demanded at work, many otherwise very able people view numerical data with distaste and perhaps even fear. This is due to factors such as the tedium of traditional calculating methods and the failure of much maths teaching to show the vast number of practical applications a grasp of quantitative methods can be put to. So this highly practical course will demonstrate techniques for avoiding errors in data entry and manipulating large amounts of numerical data rapidly and easily using the powerful tools available on ?Excel?. It also surmounts the psychological barrier by highlighting the way quantitative methods can be applied to extract maximum meaning from information containing numbers.
