Microsoft 365 Tips and Tricks
Half or full day | Online or in person
This half day course is aimed at anyone that already uses Microsoft 365 applications in their daily lives and just wants to make the technology work a bit better for them.

This course looks at the core office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and the online collaboration tools such Teams, OneDrive and SharePoint. We’ll explore tips, tricks and shortcuts to make the software work for you. We’ll also delve into how to get the applications working together so that you can easily move content between them, along with some handy tips to get the technology to improve how you collaborate with others.
