Your expert trainer: Alistair Birch Alistair was a local church pastor for several years. He's worked for a number of companies in IT management and marketing, advising them about making the most of their presence on the Internet. Al's currently the groovily-titled, Director of Customer Experience for Endis, regularly conducts training seminars, handles advanced user support issues and leads an area congregation at the thousand-strong Church of Christ the King (CCK) in Brighton, UK He also serves on the Communications & Technology Team at CCK and has been chair of a charity management team. He brings a wide degree of relevant experience to your training.  Working for Kingsway, Al moved their conference booking online from being completely paper-based to handling 93% of event bookings online,  making substantial savings in costs and staff time. Al regularly writes about Internet and social media issues affecting churches and charities at blog.churchinsight.com More course information We won't bore you with hours of Powerpoint slides; after an overview of system features, 90% of the course will actually show our trainer working on-screen, hands-on, showing you how it's really done. You'll see live on your screen what he's doing on his screen – and it all gets recorded for you – see below. Ask Questions Using chat (and possibly voice), ask specific questions relevant to you during the training. Video Recording Get a full, minute-by-minute video recording* of the training for you to review at your leisure for up to 2 months once training is finished! Go back over what you missed and learn at your own pace. (* may only be viewed by course delegate). ©vectorlib com - Fotolia.com Who's the training for? Suitable for – ROLE: Administrative Staff, Content Creators/Editors or Technical people. Suitable for – LEVEL: Intermediate to Advanced users. Prerequisites: Delegates should have a good working knowledge or ChurchInsight or have completed our Foundation Course. Recommended next training step: Other Intermediate or Advanced Endis training courses – coming soon. Frequently Asked Questions Q: Can more than one person watch the training on the same computer? A: As long as each has paid for the training – the price is per person: However, it's important that each delegate can watch the presentation up close on their own PC or Mac rather than from any distance as it's quite detailed. Also, each delegate ideally needs to be able to take part and interact as part of the training experience which they can only really do from their own computer. Q: Why does the training start when it does? A: The timings are the best compromise we could come up with to allow folks from the USA, UK & the rest of Western Europe to take part – by doing this we don't have to run separate training courses for each territory and so can keep prices down for you. Q: Will you be covering how to amend the design and layout of sites using Themes & Layouts? Themes & Layouts is an extremely powerful part of the system, but it's also quite complex – and it's easy to mess things up if you don't know what you're doing. Consequently, apart from one key piece of information, Themes & Layouts will be the subject of separate online course, coming soon.
