The development of Google’s software offering has enabled many businesses to simplify their daily lives with office automation tools available online, with practical packages and low prices.
Google has become a very serious competitor to Microsoft software (Excel, Word, Powerpoint, etc.), but has a number of specific features that are also its greatest assets. The software in its suite is first and foremost a collaborative tool, facilitating teamwork and enabling people to work on the same documents simultaneously and interact effectively.
But to make sure you get the most out of all these features, it’s important to carry out a rigorous analysis of your company’s needs and the way your teams use them, in order to prepare an effective training plan that will enable every member of your staff to save time and increase productivity.
The experience of our consultants specialising in Google Suite applications will enable you to guide your company along the road to success by optimising its day-to-day use of the software! Our course formats give priority to practical applications and real-life uses.

Why train in Google Workspace software?
When you use software on a daily basis, it’s easy to fall into bad habits and repeat tedious operations, when a few clicks could achieve the same result with considerable time savings.
So if you want to be sure that your software is serving your company’s productivity, it’s best to make sure that your team is aware of all the shortcuts and features that could help them.
So we’ll put a specialist consultant at your disposal, who will start by analysing your staff’s use of the software, and comparing it with your business needs and all the ways in which you can move forward more quickly.
Because it takes perspective and experience to see the Google Workspace suite as a whole, and to create the conditions for getting the most out of it.
So that styles applied to Google Docs are also applied to Google Sheets and Google Slides. Synchronise Gmail, Google Calendar and Google Meet to organise video conferences in an instant. Organise a brainstorm where every idea is recorded in Jamboard. To organise and classify your documents on Google Drive, and define the best ways of guaranteeing the security and regular backup of your data. To learn how to do without Slack thanks to Google Chat.
And for the more advanced, you can go even further to create websites with Google Sites and invent new functionalities with Google Apps Script.
With our dedicated training programme, your office automation tools will no longer hold any secrets for you, and you’ll discover all the useful applications for your business.
Our trainers adapt to the level of users, offering practical courses of varying length.

We are based in Lyon, but we can provide our training courses anywhere in France: in Paris, Bordeaux or Grenoble. Contact us to offer you the best possible package. We can also offer distance learning with a trainer on Google Meet.
We are not an Opco or a training centre, our courses are not eligible for funding by the Compte Personnel de Formation (CPF), and do not lead to certification. Probably because they give you effective practical skills rather than academic theory!
