ACCESSING COURSE NOTES:

Course notes will be available to download 24hrs prior to each session. Simply click on the relevant week and you will be able to download. We recommend that you print the notes the night before…. Again, we understand you’re (going to be) an organiser, you want to be prepared. Don’t be anxious about having all of the course notes, we do this for a reason!



CREATING YOUR MANUAL AT HOME: optional

You may choose to create your own Professional Organiser Training Manual. If this is you, just follow the steps below. Links have been provided as an example only of what we use. They are from Australia and may not be available in your country, but there will be something very similar available.

  • Step 1 - Create the folder

    • You will need (you may need to purchase these items from your local stationer)

      • 1 x 3 ring*, 50mm black binder. It should fit A4 paper (if you prefer 2 or 4 rings, go right ahead, just remember, you will need to punch holes in each piece of paper you print). Example here

      • 1 x 10 tab index dividers. Example here

      • 2 x 5 tab clear index dividers. Example here

    • You will need to print out in colour, and trim to size, the following

      • Front Insert on A3 size white paper

      • Back Insert on A3 size white paper

      • Spine Insert on A4 white card (paper can be used but it’s often a bit tricky to squish into the spine slot)

Once you have gathered all you need, you can start printing the contents of the manual.

  • Step 2 - Section Dividers

    • You will be printing the section dividers to be inserted behind/into the plastic sleeves. These will segment the courses and other information relevant to your business.

      • 5 Tab Dividers

      • Print pages 1-10 in portrait format. These will go behind each of the plastic tabs.

      • Print pages 11-12 in landscape format. These will be inserted into the plastic sleeves and sit behind the plastic tabs.

  • Step 3 - Index Page

    • Using the front page from the packet, you will be printing the index page for the Absolute Beginners course

      • Absolute Beginners Index page. This will be placed behind ‘Absolute Beginners’ section tab.

      • The font used is Josefin Sans, size 14, margins need to be ‘narrow

    Do a trial run on a scrap piece of paper BEFORE YOU PRINT ON THE PRETTY CARD to see if it looks like image below! (if it doesn’t, check settings)
