Power Workshop

For BCC Mail Manager operators seeking a concentrated orientation, Bell and Howell’s three-day Power Workshop is an ideal solution. This in-depth session provides all the instructional content of both Bell and Howell’s Standard and Advanced Classroom Workshops, in a streamlined format that delivers more information in less time than it would take to complete each Workshop separately. A Power Workshop will turbo-charge your BCC Mail Manager education, helping you get back to work—with greater productivity and effectiveness—in record time.

Please note: prior mailing experience or Bell and Howell's Mailing Basics 101 Express Learning Session is a prerequisite for this course.
