<p>CiviCRM bietet einen beeindruckenden Funktionsumfang und beste Voraussetzungen f&uuml;r ein nachhaltiges Kontakt- und Beziehungsmanagement f&uuml;r Vereine, Verb&auml;nde und andere Nonprofit-Organisationen. Die Flexibilit&auml;t und M&ouml;glichkeiten zur Individualisierung der Software k&ouml;nnen jedoch f&uuml;r unerfahrene Nutzer &uuml;berfordernd sein.</p>

<p>Was sind benutzerdefinierte Felder, Kontaktarten, Adresstypen oder Standorte? Wie kann ich komplexe Suchen durchf&uuml;hren und meine Kontakte verwalten? Wie personalisiere und verschicke ich Mailings wie bspw. Newsletter? Wo kann ich bei Fragen Hilfe bekommen? Und wie kann ich mit all diesen Optionen ein stringentes Nutzungskonzept f&uuml;r meine Daten erarbeiten?</p>

<p>Wenn Sie sich diese oder &auml;hnliche Fragen schon einmal gestellt haben, ist unser CiviCRM-Grundlagentraining genau das Richtige f&uuml;r Sie. Es versetzt Sie in die Lage, Ihre Kontaktinformationen professionell zu verwalten - egal ob Sie gerade erst CiviCRM entdecken oder Ihre Kenntnisse vertiefen wollen. Dar&uuml;ber hinaus vermitteln wir auch ein umfassendes Verst&auml;ndnis der generellen Funktionsweise von CiviCRM. So haben Sie k&uuml;nftig eine gute Entscheidungsgrundlage, ob und wie Sie neue Aufgaben mit CiviCRM unterst&uuml;tzen k&ouml;nnen.</p>
