Step three on your Chorus training journey involves making that move from an experienced practitioner into a super user/office champion. You’ll build on the knowledge gained through your Bronze and Silver training and add to it by delving into the Masters functionality, creating and managing tables, and use the Org notes and Summary Schedules. The Gold training course builds on the interactive theme with the introduction of the Chorus Surgery section where you can really benefit from our accredited trainers and their extensive knowledge of the platform. We’ll also be updating you on all the latest features released since your last training session, plus a forward look into what’s coming down the pipeline for Chorus development.
