Microsoft Visio Level 2 (Advanced)
(2013, 2016, 2019, 2021, 365)

Microsoft Visio is designed to help users simplify complex information through simple, clear and understandable diagrams. Create and modify diagrams, charts, and other custom shapes and templates while also interacting with other Microsoft Office components such as Excel, Project, and Access.

By the end of this course, users will be comfortable creating a variety of diagrams and charts and will be able to create custom stencils and custom shapes, as well as create master shapes and even custom templates. By being able to connect drawings to external data, you will be able to create charts and timelines from Microsoft Project files, as well as connect to Excel workbooks and Access databases.
