the format is the same as us charts, they just do things a little different. Just take your time looking at them and you'll do fine. The general things they do are DME arcs to final approach courses, DME arcs on departures and teardrop to a holding pattern on departures with various MCA's depending on what airway you are departing on.

The departures are by runway so generally you'll have a straight out course to intercept with a dme arc or teardrop to perform. The arc will have various offshoots depending on where you are going and the teardrop takes you back to the vor to climb/head out on course. Just be mindful of MEA's and MCA's on those charts and you'll be fine.
