Introduction to MS Office 365 including OneDrive
Has your organisation recently started to use Microsoft 365? Perhaps you've had it for some time, but haven't had a chance to get to know its features. Or perhaps you just started working for an organisation that uses 365, but you've never experienced it before.
Whatever the case, this course will help you get to grips with the Cloud and collaborative working, using OneDrive and Office 365. We aim to combine technical training with exercises around smarter working and the sorts of behaviour changes that can be prompted by new tools. This course will help you find your way around the online features.
This course is only available for private bookings, either for groups or as a one-to-one, held online via Zoom or in the classroom. Please get in touch for availability.
Please note that we will be using Microsoft 365 for Business and not the standard Home version of Microsoft Office.
