About Us

Essential Skills provides quality technology-based business software training tailored to you and your organisation. We will work with you to develop and deliver training solutions that fit participant’s needs and increase their productivity.

Essential Skills specialises in delivering technology training at your site. In-house technology training benefits your organisation and staff through:

Focus

Training is customised to meet your needs

Savings

No added costs for staff travel

Relevance

Participants have the freedom to discuss real issues and situations that occur in their workplace

Time

Training occurs when you need it

Whether you are a small company with just a few employees, a larger organisation, or government agency, we can assist you with your training needs.

What We Do

Our trainers specialise in making technology concepts understandable. Our tailored in-house business software training saves you time and money. Imagine ten minutes a day saved through learning new skills.

That adds up to over thirty hours saved per year per person, which can be used on more productive tasks.

We will meet with you to discuss your technology training requirements and then work with you to develop a solution, whether it is one-to-one coaching or a series of larger training modules.

We Can:

• Help you analyse your needs

• Develop the training programme

• Prepare trainer’s notes and participant quick reference guides

• Deliver training for you

• Run train-the-trainer workshops, if training is to be carried out by your staff in-house

Essential Skills has extensive experience in managing training aspects of software projects. We will work with your project team to determine the best way to introduce new technology and business applications to your organisation, and then assist with the training aspects of its rollout.

We believe it is better to incorporate your organisation’s business processes into the training rather than just teaching software functionality. We have assisted our clients in introducing many different types of software, including:

• MS Office products

• MS Project and Visio

• Apple Mac and iPad training

• Document and workflow management

• Customer Relationship Management

• Tenancy management systems

• Financial management systems

• Emergency call centre software
