CiviCRM for Fundraisers in 1 day

Trainer Notes

Objectives:

  • Understand how the CiviCRM community works and where you can find further information and support
  • Know how to use CiviCRM as a day to day user
  • Be able to plan and configure CiviCRM installations
  • Understand the different CiviCRM Modules which fundraising organisations are likely to use

Is previous knowledge assumed?

  • That the learners are familiar with using online software applications / Office based software

Materials and equipment required:

  • Each learner should be given; a copy of the Course Timetable, details of each session with the exercises, details on how they access support and access online resources.
  • A projector and computer for the trainer to demonstrate the session materials
  • Each learner (or pair of learners) will have access to a computer which can connect to a CiviCRM installation. These computers are used by the learner to complete the session exercises

Delivery Notes:

  • The programme below lists a suggested timetable and session order.
  • Trainer notes for each session can be found on the CiviCRM Wiki page http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRM/Sessions
  • All of the sessions are run without user exercises and apart from Introducing CiviCRM are run as as half hour sessions only
  • We have only included the sessions which we think would be of the most use to fundraising organisations but there should be an overview of all components in the introductory session.
