Everything you need to know
Approach
The training combines short theory moments with extensive hands-on exercises. We use recognisable situations from your daily working practice, so you can apply what you have learned the same day on your own Mac.
Levels
Three tracks: Beginner, Intermediate and Windows to Mac. Each track has its own programme and target group. In the intake conversation we determine together which track best suits your team. Does your team have mixed levels? No problem: we put together a programme that is relevant for everyone.
Tailored
Almost every macOS training we deliver is bespoke. We fully align the content, pace and examples with the situation and skill level of your employees. From beginner to switcher: every track is personalised.
macOS version
We train on macOS Sequoia (the latest version) by default. Does your organisation use an older version? No problem: we tailor the training accordingly.
Materials & follow-up
After the training, each participant receives a comprehensive summary with examples and exercises. If you have questions after the training, you can always contact the trainer.
From request to result
Every macOS training is carefully prepared and tailored to your organisation.
Introduction
A brief conversation to understand your requirements, target audience and current Mac skill level. No obligation.
Tailored design

Interactive, practical and engaging. Online or on-site. Immediately applicable tips and techniques.
