WHERE HAS PACK & GO GONE?

This feature has been enhanced and renamed to Package for CD.

WHAT’S THE BENEFIT?

Now, when you quickly copy your presentation along with any supporting files to a disk or network location, the Microsoft Office PowerPoint Viewer is included by default. That way the PowerPoint Viewer will be available to run the packaged presentations on another computer even if PowerPoint is not installed.

2.Insert CD into CD Drive

4.A dialogue box will appear “In the Name the CD” Type a name for the CD.

Caroline Whitley – Senior Training Consultant and Course Administrator

Hello, I am Caroline Whitley and a Senior Training Consultant with MCT Limited and also the Course Administrator, so if you want to book a training course it is likely that you will be talking with me. As most of our training is customised, being a trainer as well as an Administrator helps with setting the aims and objectives of the courses to meet with your requirements.

I have been actively training within the Industry since 1991 and still enjoy every aspect of the challenge of training and the satisfaction I get in helping and passing information to others. In fact I would say that I have a passion for training!

I have a lovely family – 3 girls aged 11, 5 and 3 and a wonderful husband. So they keep me busy. One of my hobbies is painting and the extension we have recently had put on our home has given me plenty to keep going. As a family we love travelling to France. Its not too long a trip for the girls, the costs are reasonable, weather is good and the food and wine are excellent!

So whenever you would like to book a training course – contact me on: Caroline.Whitley@mctraining.co.uk and I will arrange a course to meet all your personal and business requirements.

MCT’s performance was measured against rigorous standards set by the IITT and we are now accredited until January 2008 when we will be audited again.

CASE STUDY:

Client: Oak Lodge Dental Practice. www.oaklodgedental.co.uk Feedback: “Caroline was a great trainer. She had a 1.5 hour session with each team member, with training adapted to their individual needs. They are both more confident, have a better knowledge of Excel and have learnt new shortcuts and formulae that are saving them time and hassle. We plan to book regular training sessions into the calendar in 2007.”
Mission: To provide one-to-one training for two support staff at this busy dental practice
Objective: To improve excel skills
Trainer: Caroline
