AlphaLAW-training Get the Full Benefit from Your System
"If knowledge is the engine of the new economy...then learning is the fuel that powers it"
Hiro Takeuchi
"Training is the key ingredient for making things happen effectively. You would not expect someone to be able to become a solicitor overnight and the same is true of practice management and IT. IT training is particularly important and nothing can substitute for 'hands-on' practice under the care and guidance of a training professional who understands the legal business."
The Law Society
"Training is arguably the most important part of any IT implementation. It is also unfortunately the area that is most often neglected or cut when the budget is tight. Training should be a priority within the firm, as it is the best way in which to ensure IT acceptance and to ensure that the firm gets the hoped for benefits from their IT."
The Law Society
Training is frequently considered low on the list of priorities when purchasing either a computer system or a new software product. However, it is only from receiving training from persons familiar with both the product and your working environment can the full benefits of the system be realised.
AlphaLAW offers a wide range of training courses specifically designed to enable you to make full use of, and to gain the full benefits from, AlphaLAW products. All AlphaLAW trainers are highly qualified Cashiers or Administrators with many years experience in working in the legal office environment. Courses are usually held on-site at your offices. Alternatively, full training facilities are available at our offices.
AlphaLAW courses carry Law Society CPD accreditation
