Microsoft Teams is a powerful package, but without clear working agreements you quickly lose track. In this course you will learn how to set up and use Teams effectively for day-to-day collaboration with colleagues and external parties.
Description
Working in Teams goes beyond chatting and video calling. You learn to set up teams and channels, share files, schedule meetings and make use of the link with OneDrive and SharePoint. This allows you to collaborate in a structured way, both from the office and from home.
During the course you will practise with the elements that are relevant to your work. The trainer will take you through the interface, show you how to adjust settings and give tips on keeping Teams manageable when you have many projects and conversations.
There is plenty of room for your own questions and practical situations. Are you stuck on a particular function, or do you want to know how to tackle something more efficiently? You get an immediate answer from an experienced trainer.
For teams and organisations. We also deliver this course in-company for a department. We will also discuss your own agreements on channels, files and meetings.

In-company
Would you like to organise this training for a whole group or several groups? This can be cost-effective. For example, we can tailor the content entirely to your organisation, and training a whole group is also cheaper.
Are you looking at large numbers of participants or a complete academy? That involves a great deal. Consider planning and communication, for example, or identifying and agreeing the objectives and content of the training. Or differences in level, feedback mechanisms and safeguarding. Fortunately, Learnit has extensive experience in this field (more than 25 years) and we are happy to help you through this process.

“A very interesting course that I have got a great deal out of. I will certainly be applying things within our company that I learned during the course. I have also gained a completely different view of the company I work for. Only now do I really see which things could be improved with us. And I will certainly be working on that.”
“Under highly professional guidance, as a team of 18 people we made real progress in just 4 half-day sessions in the area of expectations and communication with each other. There turned out to be more beneath the surface than we had thought beforehand; this came out into the open and was discussed properly. We evaluate the agreements together every two years in order to keep to what we agreed.”

You will also learn how to adjust settings and notifications to suit the way you work.
Who is the Microsoft Teams course for?

Do I need prior knowledge for the Teams course?
No, specific prior knowledge of Microsoft Teams is not required. It does help if you are familiar with Windows and Office, as Teams is part of Microsoft 365.
Do I receive a certificate after the Microsoft Teams course?
Yes, afterwards you receive a Learnit certificate of participation. This shows that you have successfully completed the course.
Can I also take the course online or in-company?
Yes, you can follow the Microsoft Teams course as a classroom course on location, online in a virtual classroom or in-company at your organisation. For in-company courses we tailor the content to the working methods and agreements within your company.
Do I work in my own Teams environment during the course?
You practise in a training environment, but your own working practice and questions get plenty of attention. In an online or in-company course you can often work with your own Teams account, so that you learn in the environment you use every day.
What is the difference between a team and a channel in Microsoft Teams?
A team is a group of people working together on a shared goal, project or within a department. Within a team you create channels to separate conversations and files by topic. This keeps collaboration manageable, even when many projects or themes are running at the same time.
How do I share files securely with colleagues and external parties via Teams?
You place files in a channel or attach them to a chat. Behind the scenes they are stored in SharePoint or OneDrive for Business, so that version control and permissions are automatically taken care of. For external parties you can invite guest users or generate a specific sharing link, depending on the settings within your organisation. During the course the trainer shows you the best approach for your situation.
How do I keep an overview in Teams when I'm part of many teams and channels?
Start by hiding or pinning the channels you use daily, and only switch on notifications for what really matters. Use the search bar to quickly find messages or files, and use the Activity tab to stay up to date. During the course you practise with these settings, so that you set up Teams in a way that keeps your working day calm.
What is the difference between Microsoft Teams and SharePoint or OneDrive?
Microsoft Teams is the collaboration and communication environment where you chat, meet and work with your team. SharePoint is the storage and document management environment behind the teams and channels. OneDrive for Business is your personal cloud storage, where you keep files that have not yet been shared with a team. The three work closely together: a file in a channel is actually stored in SharePoint, and you can share private files from OneDrive directly from a chat.
How do I organise an effective meeting in Microsoft Teams?
A good Teams meeting starts with a clear agenda and the right participants in the invitation. Use the chat during the meeting for links or questions, share your screen when needed and make agreements visible through notes or a shared document. Afterwards the chat and any recordings can be found again in the conversation, so that those who were absent can read along. In the course you receive practical tips for keeping meetings both short and productive.
What does the Microsoft Teams course cost?
