Lunch & Learns

At Full Circle Computing, we appreciate that many companies would like to build IT training into their hectic business schedules, but often find it difficult to free up time during the cut and thrust of the working day. As a result, we created the “Lunch and Learn” format which allows staff members to receive short, intensive training literally during their lunch hour.

Our “Lunch and Learn” sessions are suitable for staff members with all levels of knowledge. The training is usually less formal and structured than normal, giving a more dynamic and interactive approach. Our “Lunch and Learn” sessions can be tailored to suit either a small group or large group!

Often businesses decide to update their technology system on a large scale across the company in order to ensure that the business is fit for purpose for many years to come.

Rolling out a new version of Microsoft Office to your entire team?  You can build your own New Features day of training and have it delivered in our state-of-the-art classrooms or on-site at your location.
