Introduction
Tell me and Ill forget;
show me and I may remember;
involve me and Ill understand.
Chinese Proverb
Welcome! A skill can only be mastered by doing, practising, rehearsing and repeating. This
assignments will therefore hand you the tools to directly do what you wish to learn: Nintex Forms.
The presentation, the instructions from the trainer, the reference work and consultation with fellow
course members you will most certainly succeed in not only seeing what Nintex Forms is, but
understanding it as well.
A collection of modules together constitute one training course. Each module has assignments
attached to it. The basic assignments are set in two levels: assignment A for end-users and key-users,
assignment B for IT-professionals. If you have time left, you may work on the additional assignments
(C). Obviously, you may also help your fellow course members (there is no greater learning method,
than explaining things to someone else) and go sparring together over the best solution. You may
also do the additional assignments after the course.
