The CMSi Administration course is an opportunity for new administrators, or those who would like to fill in gaps in their admin skills. This course comprises of 6 hours of tuition over two days. As we there is lower demand for this we will schedule these when we have 3 or more enquiries, so please note your interest on the form below and we will make a plan with you.
We also offer bespoke training, specially tailored to your needs through discussion with us. Our courses can be delivered online, in person in our Talgarth training suite, or our trainers can travel to your own training facilities.
Webinars
Lasting around 45 minutes, our free webinars offer you the chance to explore a part of the application with which you may not be familiar. These are useful overviews if you are new to CMSi, and very helpful if you wish to review and update your current use of the application. We welcome interaction in the webinars, so do bring questions along.
Previous webinar recordings are available to registered CMSi users here on our documentation pages.
