Microsoft Visio is a powerful diagramming and vector graphics application that enables users to create detailed, professional-quality visuals. As part of the Microsoft Office family, Visio is widely used across industries to design flowcharts, organisational charts, network diagrams, floor plans, process maps, engineering schematics, and more.

Our Microsoft Visio training courses are designed to help users of all levels—whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to refine your skills—gain confidence and efficiency in using this versatile tool.

With a rich library of pre-drawn shapes, templates, and connectors, Visio makes it easy to create diagrams that are not only functional but visually impressive. You can also import and edit AutoCAD (CAD) drawings directly within Visio, making it ideal for engineering and architectural workflows.

However, with its broad range of features and tools, Microsoft Visio can feel overwhelming to untrained users. That’s where we come in. Our expert Visio trainers have years of hands-on experience using the software and delivering engaging, practical training. They’ll guide you step-by-step, showing you how to get the most out of Visio while working smarter and faster.

With our Visio training, you’ll learn how to:

·        Navigate the Visio interface with ease
·        Use stencils, templates, and SmartShapes effectively
·        Create professional diagrams like flowcharts, org charts, process maps, and timelines
·        Work with layers, containers, and callouts to enhance clarity
·        Link diagrams to data sources for real-time updates
·        Import and edit AutoCAD drawings
·        Format and present your diagrams for sharing or printing

We deliver flexible Visio trainer-led courses online, perfect for remote teams or individuals, as well as on-site Visio training at client locations across the UK and beyond. Whether you’re training a small team or rolling out company-wide diagramming standards, we tailor our sessions to meet your business goals.
