Begin your journey to mastering your Kinetic software with training workshops

By popular demand, we are offering more training workshops to our software users to help you get the most out of you Kinetic software.

 

What's in it for you?

Upskill in your knowledge of your software to boost success in your role

Network with other users and share best practice, experiences and ideas

What to expect

We know how important it is to feel confident when using new software – so we have introduced even more training workshops designed to help you up-skill as a new starter or refreshing your existing knowledge.

Some of these sessions will be in-person at our Milton Keynes office, while the others will be hosted online. They'll focus on processes within Student Web, KxStudent, KxWelcome, KxConferencing, KxResidential, KxPlorer and KxArchiver. These sessions lay the groundwork for advancing your knowledge or refreshing existing skills.

If you're new to your team or would like some refresher training, come along and join in.

While the on-site sessions will run from 10 AM to 4 PM and include lunch, the virtual ones will be shorter sessions. It will also be a great opportunity to meet colleagues from across the sector and network with other users, a great way to share new ways of working.

Numbers are limited, as we want to give everyone a great experience, so please only two delegates from each organisation for on-site sessions.

Feedback from previous attendees

“It was a really useful session. I learnt many new and useful things I'll take onboard and share with the team!”

“It was great to have so many discussions throughout and compare different approaches. Excellent all round and very comprehensive.”

"I've never been to HQ before, and I'm so glad I made the long journey. The whole day has been fantastic, your offices, staff, facilities - lunch was all wonderful. I felt very looked after. I asked a lot of questions, and Sharon was brilliant at answering those specific to me. I came needing to come back with better training, and I felt just that. It was an added bonus to network and meet some lovely people."

"Lovely session, and very informative. Both Rori and Sharon are very knowledgeable and helpful. I've found out how to create, edit, and change details on Kx in a different and much easier way than my colleague showed me. Thanks."

"Useful to see how other institutions use Kx.  Great to be able to provide feedback on processes in person. Very good structured day and would be very useful for new staff."
