To this end this tender has been produced, and consists of two lots: 1. Microsoft Office Training 2. Health & Safety Training The Requirement LOT 1 - MS Office Training Over the coming months the Royal Berkshire Fire Authority is upgrading the version of Microsoft Office it uses from 2007 to 2016. To ensure that staff are able to use the latest version effectively and efficiently the Authority will offer a 1 day transition course. In addition a number of staff have identified, as part of their Continuing Professional Development (CPD), the requirement to undertake further training in specific aspects of MS Office.
