What do you learn in the Microsoft Teams course?

You learn how to use Microsoft Teams for collaboration, communication and file sharing. This includes creating and structuring teams and channels, chatting, meeting, working on documents together and the link with OneDrive for Business. You also learn to adjust settings and notifications to suit the way you work.

Who is the Microsoft Teams course for?

The course is suitable for anyone who works with Microsoft Teams, or is about to, and wants to learn to use the package better. Team members, project staff and administrators are all welcome. Prior knowledge of Teams is not required.

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 take the Microsoft Teams course in a classroom at one of our locations, 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 there is plenty of attention for your own working practice and questions. On 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 towards a shared goal, on a project or within a department. Within a team you create channels to separate conversations and files by topic. This keeps collaboration clear, 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, which means version control and permissions are automatically handled correctly. 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 will show you the best approach for your own 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 find messages or files quickly, 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 back in the conversation, so that those who were absent can catch up as well. In the course you receive practical tips for keeping meetings both short and productive.

What does the Microsoft Teams course cost?

You will find the current price at the top right of this course page, together with the schedule, location and delivery format. For in-company or bespoke courses we are happy to provide a quotation on request.

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.

Result

After this course you work with more calm and structure in Microsoft Teams. You know how to set up teams and channels, share files, organise meetings and collaborate with colleagues and external partners. You also adapt Teams to your own way of working, so that you have your notifications, display and settings under control.

Target audience

This course is intended for anyone who works with Microsoft Teams, or is about to, and wants to get more out of it. Think of team members, project staff and administrators who want to improve collaboration through video meetings within their organisation.

Teaching method

You work in a small group with an experienced trainer. Short explanations alternate with exercises in your own environment, so that you immediately apply what you learn. There is plenty of room for your own questions and situations from your working practice.

Prior knowledge

You have a basic knowledge of working with Windows and Office. Experience with Teams is not required.

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.

The best training for you

At Learnit you will always find a course that takes you further. From (technical) IT skills to communication or personal leadership. You can also choose the training format that suits you best: a classroom course, a tailor-made course at your own office, an online course or an e-learning. We have the right course and the right format for everyone. Because learning in the way that suits you best delivers the best results.

Moving forward together

Taking a training course at Learnit means learning together. Together with your experienced trainer, together with your course group or together with your colleagues. And whether you take the training at home, at your office or at one of our training locations, we are always available to help you. To share our knowledge with you in a way that is genuinely useful to you. Getting further together through personal attention and understanding each other well; that is what we believe in.

Apply it directly in your work

Learning theory from a book that you can then hardly use in your work? Not at Learnit! Whichever training you take with us, you can put it to use at your workplace straight away. Because of the unique learning objectives you set together with the trainer at the start of the training. Because of the alternation between theory and (interactive) practical assignments. And by bringing the challenges you face in your daily work along to the training.
