This is a very thorough and succinct course that walks you through all of the basics you need to know about Visio. I enjoyed how clear the instructor was and did not divert from course material. Everything was explained very clearly and the exercises were fun.
By Laura Farron on 3/30/2024
Excellent overall. Section 16 would benefit from more background info on why Shape Data and Data Graphics are used. Section 18: would be helpful to explain why/how some shapes are automatically assigned to layers and some are not. Quiz 17: question 2 is from Section 16 and requires selecting the wrong answer (false instead of true). Quiz 21: question 2 is not covered until Lesson 71.

Da es diesen Inhalt auf Deutsch nicht gab, habe ich den Kurs gewählt. Mir gefällt er sehr gut, es wird alles abgehandelt und das Britisch Englisch der Autorin ist sehr gut zu verstehen. Sehr empfehlenswert!

So far my experience has been straight forward and very helpful. I am dyslexic and had no problems so far understanding. Update - I cannot wait to start utilizing Visio in my new role! I love it.
By Clark Carpenelli on 5/23/2023
A lot of filler. went over the same thing or too similar of a thing. Also I hate when people show you bad ways of doing things before the better option
By John Marquez on 12/29/2022
She speaks a bit slow soft and slow and can be too relaxing and make you sleepy.... listen in x1.25-1.5 speed to get through it other than that very informative and I learned a lot!
By Melissa Sheppard on 6/16/2022
yes - some things are basic but then Deb will throw in something i didnt know so its worth listening to it all. Its also in nice small chunks so i can do a little bit at a time or a lot depending on what other work i have on
By Joshua Stewart on 5/5/2022
One of the best courses I've ever taken and I've taken A LOT. Very well constructed, the topics were on point, and the instructor was extremely knowledgeable and flowed at a great pace. Highly recommend!
By S. Jeff Cold on 4/28/2022
So far, it's been pretty elementary, however I'm pleased that the presenter is not getting bogged down in the weeds with minute details. I need to get into drawing complex network diagrams and believe I'll be there in no time at all.
By David McCallum on 11/28/2021
This was extremely easy to understand and vastly increased my knowledge and ability to use Microsoft Visio. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who is starting to learn Visio.
