Getting to know the basics of using MS Word

With every ZandaX Microsoft course, you get a workbook and exercises (downloadable from the “General Introduction” module at the start of each course). These are NOT "follow along" exercises to use during the course, but new exercises you can use afterwards to practice the skills using different examples.  People tell us this is a better way to learn because it provides an opportunity to work with new data.

Our Microsoft instructors are seasoned professionals - they don't just know the software: they've used it commercially and taught it in a classroom environment for years. You won't be in better hands!

And we don’t waffle! Do you want to sit through hours of over-explaining before you get the knowledge you need? We doubt it! So we make sure that everything is covered in easy-to-follow video lessons, and we get to the point so you make the best use of your time.
