We have the answers.
Answers to the questions people often ask before they join,
or contact us and we’ll happily help.
General
Why not sign up to one of our Membership plans with access to all courses, each plan starts with a 7 Day Free Trial.
Our courses will take you from beginner, you simply need basic computer skills.
Courses
If you buy a course, you get access to it for 1 year. 30 Day subscription access gives you access to all courses for 30 days. If you join us for a year via our 6 Month or 12 Month subscription plan, you get full access to all courses for a 6 months or a year.
All our services are delivered online via our website. The courses are accessed from your account which is made available to you on purchase of a service. The Course materials are delivered in two primary forms:
1. Online videos to show you how to use functionality for that relevant chapter
2. Downloadable exercises to practice what you have learned
This depends on the course you choose. As a guide, a 4 hour video tutorial would take you around 8 to 10 hours of intense study and practice to complete.
When you’re completing our online courses, each course comes with a ‘Progress chart’ that shows you what % of the course you’ve completed, so you can track your learning every time you log in.
All of our learning is delivered via video, and to enhance the learning process we encourage you to take notes. If you want to pause, rewind or replay a video, that’s simple to do, so you will never miss an important point.
We update all of our courses whenever a feature within an application is updated. We also have a roadmap of new courses that we will be releasing. This can be viewed on our Courses page.
Technical
The course text documents and videos for all courses can be followed using free software that most computers will have had installed during the course of everyday internet usage. Although course text documents and videos can be read and viewed using free software, the practice material given will require the use of the relevant applications. So without the software you can still learn but you will be unable to practice.
Yes you can. If you have a PC and laptop at home, a desktop at work, a tablet and a Smartphone, you can access your courses from all of them.
Certification
Our courses are accredited by the CPD Certification Service UK. We also prepare you for a number of different forms of accreditation.
Once you have completed a course we will provide you with a Certificate of Completion. This indicates that you have completed the course and the assessment attached with the course.
We prepare you to sit the Microsoft Office Specialist accredited Excel Core and Excel Expert exams. These exams must be sat in a Microsoft Accredited Test Centre.
We prepare you for the IACT iMaster certification. This is highest level accreditation available. This is a credit based certification which requires completion of a number of courses, online assessments and a project submission.
Once you have completed the courses and any associated recommended coursework and exercises you should be ready to sit the examinations. To complete the Microsoft Specialist examination at Core level you should complete Excel Levels 1-2 and be very comfortable with all of its content. For the IACT Excel iMaster certification you will need to complete 8 modules. You should feel confident that you are ready to sit the respective exams or tests and able to perform any of the required syllabus questions quickly and without hesitation.
- Certificates of completion are issued once you have completed the associated course and any associated online tests. These can be downloaded immediately.
- Microsoft examinations must be booked in advance – from here or your local test centre in Australia, namely, Pearson VUE or Prometric.
- You are automatically registered for IACT Excel Master certification once you signup for the iMaster programme
After you have completed a course and passed the associated examinations and project work (if required), you receive a Certificate. This certificate is delivered in PDF format for you to print. It’s Internationally recognised and demonstrates to future employers that you have a high proficiency in your chosen course.
Optionally you may elect to sit the Microsoft Office Expert or Core examinations once you have completed the Expert courses – and once passed you will receive a certificate from Microsoft like this:
In the same way that Universities ask their Online students to agree to an Honour Code, we do the same. When you sign up to take the exam, you are signing up to our Honour Code, stating that it is you that has competed the exam.
As many times as you want.
