T4 Site Manager training
Bookings for T4 Site Manager training sessions
Any staff who will need to maintain web content in a site managed within Site Manager must attend a T4 training session before they can have access to the system. These are held regularly based on demand.
To discuss your T4 training needs and join the waiting list:
- contact the local Web Marketing Officer (WMO) for your College or Service, or a member of the central Web Team if there is no WMO covering your area - see the Web Team's 'Who we are' page for contact details
- the Web Team will allocate places on the WebCMS courses; you will not be able to book for these through Trent HR.
You will be contacted by Learning and Development with a session date and time when the next one is available.
Training materials
Training notes accompany the initial training session, taking you through the steps to complete various common tasks in T4 Site Manager. You will receive a copy of these at your training session, but you may also download a copy here.
