Live Online Productivity Software: Microsoft Office Suite Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Nov 2, 2026 · from USD 800
Most office staff use only a fraction of the tools they already have, so routine tasks take far longer than necessary. Over five days you build practical fluency across the main applications, starting with file management, OneDrive and the shared features common to every program. Word sessions cover styles, templates, long documents, mail merge and review tools, while Excel covers formulas, functions, tables, PivotTables, charts and reporting. PowerPoint modules focus on clear slide design, visuals and presenting with confidence, and Outlook sessions on email management, rules, calendars, tasks and scheduling.
The final day brings the applications together, linking Excel data into Word and PowerPoint, automating work with templates and macros and collaborating through Teams and SharePoint. Exercises mirror everyday office tasks such as monthly reports, budgets, briefings and meeting schedules. Administrators, assistants, officers, managers and graduates entering the workplace will find it a time-saving investment. Afterwards you can produce polished documents, spreadsheets and presentations efficiently, share and co-edit files without version confusion and keep your inbox and diary firmly under control.
