TRIM Training

TRIM training is available to all staff when they first set up a TRIM account. Training usually takes about 30 to 45 minutes (or 60 to 90 minutes for users of electronic records), where the TRIM Systems Administrator works through a basic introduction to TRIM at the new user's workstation. Training sessions are always relaxed, and we work at the speed of the user. Group training sessions are also provided when required.

Advanced training sessions and refresher sessions are also available to all staff, and are available as often as required.

If you would like to book a TRIM Training session, please contact the TRIM Systems Administrator on x3023 or at trimhelp@admin.uwa.edu.au and mention which of the below sessions that you are interested in.
