Waar vindt de incompany training Gmail: Leren werken met Google Drive en de Google Agenda plaats?
Wherever suits you: at your office, at one of our training locations or online. You also choose the date.
Can the content be tailored to our organisation?
Yes. Before the course we discuss with you what the group can already do, where things go wrong in practice and what should be different afterwards. The trainer uses examples and exercises from your own work.
How large can the group be?
That depends on the course. For a skills course we prefer to work with a small group, so that everyone can really practise. If more people are involved, we schedule several groups or set up a fixed programme.
Wat kost Gmail: Leren werken met Google Drive en de Google Agenda incompany?
Je krijgt een vaste prijs voor de hele groep, in een offerte op maat. Met een groep is dat voordeliger dan iedereen los inschrijven.
Can the course be delivered in English?
Yes. For in-company courses we deliver the training in the language of your choice, Dutch or English. Mention it in your request.
Do participants receive a certificate?
Yes, every participant receives a certificate of attendance afterwards.
How do I request a quote?

What will you learn during the Gmail, Google Drive and Google Calendar course?
During this course you learn to work with Gmail, Google Drive and Google Calendar within Google Workspace. You practise sharing and co-editing documents, creating and sharing calendars, inviting colleagues to events and sending email via Gmail. Afterwards you will be able to collaborate efficiently in the cloud.
How long does the Google Drive and Google Calendar course take and what does it cost to take part?
The course lasts one day and is delivered in a small group by an experienced trainer. During this day you learn to work with Gmail, Google Drive and Google Calendar, so that you can get straight to work in practice. The current price and dates can be found on the course page. Course material and a certificate of attendance are included.
Do you need prior knowledge for the Google Drive and Google Calendar course?
No, you do not need any specific prior knowledge for this course. You only need to be familiar with the basics of a computer and the internet. The course is suitable for anyone who works with Gmail, Google Drive and Google Calendar, or wants to start doing so. The trainer guides you step by step, so that afterwards you can work with Google Workspace independently.
Can the Google Drive and Google Calendar course be taken in-company?
Yes, the Gmail, Google Drive and Google Calendar course can also be taken in-company. The course is then delivered on site at your organisation, tailored to the way you work together in Google Workspace. Useful if several colleagues want to learn to work with shared calendars, Drive folders and collaborating in documents at the same time.
Which Google Workspace topics are covered during the course?
During the course you work with three core components of Google Workspace: Gmail, Google Drive and Google Calendar. You learn to upload, share and jointly edit files in Drive, manage emails efficiently in Gmail and create and share calendars and schedule events in Google Calendar. Exporting copies to your own PC is also covered.
Who is the Gmail, Google Drive and Google Calendar course suitable for?
The course is suitable for anyone who works with Gmail, Google Drive and Google Calendar, or wants to start doing so, whether in a company or as a self-employed professional. Think of employees, entrepreneurs and teams switching to Google Workspace who want to collaborate more efficiently in the cloud. The course fits in with hybrid and location-independent working and requires no technical prior knowledge.
When should you choose a classroom course on Google Drive and Calendar instead of the free tutorials from Google itself?
The official Google tutorials and YouTube videos are fine if you want to look up individual functions. A classroom course has a different purpose: you learn a workable way of collaborating in Google Workspace, tailored to your situation. You practise with a trainer who looks on immediately when you get stuck, for example with shared folders, permission structures or sharing a calendar with external parties. You can also ask questions about how your team can best make the switch from Outlook or a local network drive. Choose self-study if you occasionally want to look something up. Choose the course if you want to learn to work structurally with Gmail, Drive and Calendar, including collaborating on documents and calendar management.
What is the difference between this course and a Microsoft 365 training course with OneDrive and Outlook?
Both courses cover cloud collaboration, but the tools and working methods differ. Google Workspace (Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Docs, Sheets) is entirely browser-based and strongly focused on real-time co-creation: several people work in the same document at the same time without sending files back and forth. Microsoft 365 combines desktop apps (Word, Excel, Outlook) with OneDrive and Teams, which is more convenient for complex Excel models or documents with heavy formatting. Choose this course if your organisation uses Google Workspace or is considering it, or if you are joining an employer that works in Gmail and Drive. If you work in a Microsoft environment, a Microsoft 365 training course is a better fit. The underlying principles (sharing folders, managing permissions, linking calendars) are comparable; the interface and keyboard shortcuts are not.
