professional-looking diagrams to enhance the information you give to your
clients or colleagues. This course will give you the skills to use Visio to

shapes by simply dragging and dropping shapes onto a drawing page. You will

technical diagrams. By using hands on sessions, with data relevant to your
work, this course will show you how to produce diagrams for your work both
