Date: Final details will be confirmed shortly

Maximum number of participants: 30 

Time: Final details will be confirmed shortly

Duration: 6 hours (can be split into 4 interactive sessions of 1.5 hours each, or 1 full-day training) 

Prior knowledge: 

• No previous experience with Confluence is required;
• Basic computer skills and the ability to work with cloud-based applications are sufficient;
• General familiarity with team collaboration tools (e.g., Trello, Google Workspace, Microsoft Teams) will make it easier to follow along and apply the concepts in practice. 

In modern organizations, information is created and shared at a fast pace – from project notes and product requirements to process documentation and team guidelines. Without a structured system, this knowledge quickly becomes scattered across documents, emails, and chats, making it difficult to find, update, and use. 

Confluence – a leading knowledge management tool – is designed to solve this challenge. Unlike Trello, which is excellent for tracking tasks, or Google Docs, which often leads to fragmented files, Confluence provides a single, centralized platform where teams can document processes, collaborate in real time, and maintain a reliable knowledge base. 

This hands-on training gives beginners a step-by-step introduction to Confluence. You will learn how to navigate the interface, create and structure content, use templates and macros, and apply best practices for organizing team knowledge. By the end of the course, you will understand how Confluence can improve collaboration, reduce information loss, and create a “single source of truth” for your organization.
