Training for staff

Information Services provide free, hands-on courses, workshops and self-study learning resources for staff, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, email, web publishing, University systems and much more.

Remember that computing is not a risk-free activity, so also be sure to take a little time to think about how to protect your computer, your data and yourself.

Taught IT courses

Information Services offers courses open to all members of staff throughout the year in Microsoft Office, email, digital imaging, web publishing, University systems and more.

You may view a list of currently scheduled courses and book a place through the Staff Development training programme. Please note that not all courses that we offer are necessarily available for booking during the current semester.

Some staff may also be interested in High Performance Computing courses.

Taught information literacy courses

Your subject librarian will be happy to discuss with you the advanced information literacy skills required to efficiently search all the information resources available to you. Using our alphabetical list of subjects you will find contact details for your subject librarian who you will be able to contact directly and book a convenient meeting time.

Self-study

If you prefer learning by yourself, at your own pace, you'll find the documents that are issued on our courses, and more, below. All these documents are suitable for self-study and many include practical exercises for which we supply files with which you can practice.
