At Caddie we understand that the key to successful implementation of the change to any new software is effective training. Training which not only addresses your needs as a user, and the type of work you do, but deals with them in terms you can understand and relate to rather, than just in computer jargon.
Our Caddie training courses are specifically designed to make learning Caddie easy, whether you are new to the package and using it for the first time, or wanting to develop your existing skills to increase your productivity even further. Each course breaks down the things you need to know into series of manageable exercises, and uses examples taken from real world situations to maintain relevance and make learning easier.
What’s more, class sizes are kept to an absolute minimum with each person normally having their own computer to work on for the duration of the course. This way you can be sure that you get off to the best possible start with Caddie, no matter what your prior knowledge or experience.
