Office Admin & Client Care + Legal Bookkeeping
DearAttorney
Do your staff need training but there is simply no time for you to train them or for them to attend a course? Why not register them for an online course where they can train when it is convenient.
All they need is a computer with an Internet connection and basic computer skills. Participants will also receive a DVD with comprehensive information on the topic.
Please register your staff on only one of the courses at a time. Students who register for both courses find it difficult to keep up-to-date as the due dates for the assignments and tests conflict.
Kind regards
