By DAVID PINHASIK on 12/30/2024

This is an excellent course on using the myriad features and options of MS Visio. This is not a course on how to create a diagram of a specific type (flowcharts, network diagrams) but he does give some examples. If you already know the concepts behind a flowchart, BPMN diagram, network diagram, etc. then this course will teach you exactly how to use Visio to create those diagrams. There are so many features and options, I would have liked to see more examples of best practice and when they are used. I still think this is a 5 star course, but I wouldn't mind another followup course for best practices and use cases.

Brian presents the Visio content with energy and enthusiasm. He covers a lot of ground and now I know a lot about Visio that I didn't earlier from working with the tool on my own. I would recommend this class to anyone who wants to go beyond the basics, and get deeper into harnessing the power of Visio. It will help you speed up creating diagrams, and also in making presentations more convincing and professional looking. I did have problems seeing the edges of Brian's screen, so like the top strip of the app which contains the filename was not visible. The extreme left and right sides were also not viewable. This was rarely an issue because the discussion almost always focused on what I could view. Good class and highly recommended.

By Jacob Scheckman on 9/3/2021

Somethings that were taught depend on whether or not you have a certain version of the visio software installed, for example the 2019 visio professional version is different as far as where to find certain commands on the quick access toolbar. There is no pens or ink commands listed under the review tab, they are part of the Draw tab instead, and they don't ever mention ink or pens, it is inferred that it is what it is. My suggestion with using this course is to learn what is being taught, but to realize somethings don't always work like the examples being demonstrated, somethings require the end user to have some extra knowledge of how computer software and the computer itself works.

By Puneet Malhotra on 8/16/2021

The course was definitely helpful. The explanation was good. The visualizations were good. However the course was unnecessarily elongated. Section 13 was nothing but addition. Further the clubbing of videos could have been improved like first there was a section on Groups and then at a later stage there was a section of Connection which was relatable to Group. These two topics could have been covered at one place since we learnt Group twice. But I must agree that it was really beneficial. A really nice addition to the skill set.

This is so helpful! I feel like I have learned so many great, time-saving tips.

By Derek Byrne on 10/11/2020

New to this application.

By Angel Ivan Luna Daz on 10/11/2020

S; el hecho de que sean incluidas algunas recomendaciones sobre atajos y controles que funcionan en cualquier otra paquetera de Office resulta muy til.

By John Kneidel on 9/25/2020

Learning a lot of things that should be apparent to a new user, but aren't. Instructor really knows the material and is able to convey it.
