Microsoft Office Essentials Training Course - On-site and Online

Microsoft Office Essentials Training Course

This Microsoft 365 Essentials Course is intended for anyone who has an administration, digital communication or office role and needs to get started with the very basics of using modern Microsoft Office products.

The Essentials course is a one-day event focussing upon traditional MS Office apps which are needed in any workplace setting including basic Excel, Word and Outlook training. During the day we also cover newer M365 products such as Teams and OneDrive to get your team up-to-speed with contemporary working practices.

Office Essentials Training Course Prerequisites

There are no prerequisites for attending this course so long as your learners can use a keyboard and a mouse.

Live Virtual Classroom Microsoft Office Essentials Courses

If you'd rather that your team learns remotely, these small-group Microsoft Office courses are also available as live virtual, interactive sessions from the comfort of your own office or workplace. These instructor-led courses are taught via MS Teams video conferencing.

Why choose virtual learning? As we've all become used to Online learning (and live virtual meetings) it is clear that this format has some advantages over traditional face-to-face learning.

If you're looking for local training, then you can't get closer to your doorstep than you can with virtual learning.

These courses cater for classes of up to 10 and your learners benefit from full and immersive interaction with the trainer just as if they were in the classroom with you, with engaging hands-on training via live video conferencing that's enriched by features such as live chat, private chat, and sharing screens and documents.

Our virtual classroom Microsoft Office courses cost £550.00 plus VAT p/day inclusive up to 5 delegates. More learners can be added up to a limit of 10 charged at £50.00 plus VAT per person p/day. Courseware will be provided electronically.

On-site Microsoft Office Essentials Courses

Our closed courses for Microsoft Office are delivered as private classes for your learners offering more flexibility than off-the-peg courses and topics can often be tailored to meet your particular learning needs.

Our trainers know that helping students to work effectively isn't just a business goal, it's also empowering. They aren't just educators, they're also software champions who promote enthusiastic adoption of Microsoft Office amongst their trainees. Before the start date they'll discuss your team's training goals with you, whether they're setting off as novice, intermediate or advanced users.
