Skillsoft KnowledgeCentre at your Dealership
Following our email sent to the dealer network in February about online training for Microsoft Office 2007, we are now in the process of launching this great opportunity to those dealers who registered – free of charge!
What is a KnowledgeCentre?
A SkillSoft KnowledgeCentre is a single, focused interface where your employees can receive instant and ongoing skill development and performance support.
SkillSoft ’s Office 2007 KnowledgeCentre enables hands on learning, providing more than courses and books—it introduces an array of resources designed and chosen to challenge and motivate every learner on your team.
This one stop portal allows learners to gain knowledge through articles, courses and online books, but more than that, each KnowledgeCentre includes hands-on Practice Labs allowing your business professional or organization to learn and use Office 2007 skills in a real time environment.
The KnowledgeCentre will provide resources for:
- Employees new to Office 2007 (including beginning Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint and Vista)
- Employees already working with Office 2007 (includes advanced Word, Excel and Outlook)
- Office 2007 Power Users
There are a small number of licenses still available if you would like to join the programme, please contact Leanne on 08450 775535 or by email to Leanne@mazda-academy.co.uk.

The third vehicle making its debut at the Geneva Motor Show this year is the Special Edition model of the Mazda MX-5, celebrating 20 years global roadster success.
Based on the 1.8-litre SE soft-top roadster, this version has a special exterior styling package with chrome grille, door handles and headlight fascia; along with silver-look fog lamp surrounds, unique 17-inch alloy wheels and 20th Anniversary logos. It can be ordered in three exterior colours – True Red, Crystal White Pearl and, specific for this edition, a new Aurora Blue – with matching bodycolour painted decorative elements in the interior. A front suspension bracing bar is also added to ensure an even more sporty and exhilarating drive.
