What others say about this course

“Learnit is a professional organisation; I have personally made use of the courses offered to me several times and in various ways. I have got a lot out of them personally, and I still apply part of it in practice every day. Importantly, Learnit does not stop after a day's training, but continues to give the client the attention they need in the period afterwards.”

“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.”

“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.”

Frequently asked questions

How long does the Microsoft Teams e-learning course take and how long do I have access?
The Microsoft Teams e-learning course takes approximately 7 hours to complete. You get 9 months' access to the course material, so you decide when and at what pace you study. The course consists of 19 lesson videos, 19 assignments and a file with additional information. You can always stop part-way through and continue later, as your progress is saved automatically.
Who is the Microsoft Teams e-learning suitable for?
The Microsoft Teams e-learning is suitable for anyone who wants to collaborate more efficiently in Office 365 with Teams. Think of employees, project leaders and teams who want to meet online, chat and share files. No prior knowledge is required. You work through 19 lesson videos and assignments at your own pace, without any installation. Ideal if you want to learn flexibly alongside your work.
Do I need any prior knowledge for the Microsoft Teams e-learning course?
No, you need no specific prior knowledge for the Microsoft Teams e-learning. Basic experience of working with a computer and the internet is sufficient. The course begins with an introduction to Teams and builds up step by step to more advanced features such as online meetings, shared files and channel management. You complete each module with an assignment, so you only move on once you have mastered the material.
Do I need to install software for the Microsoft Teams e-learning course?
No, you do not need to install anything. The Microsoft Teams e-learning is offered entirely in the cloud. You log in via a website and start the course straight away in your browser. Microsoft Teams or an Office suite does not need to be installed on your computer. This means you can work on the course at home, at the office or on the move, as long as you have an internet connection.
Do I receive a certificate after completing the Microsoft Teams e-learning?
Yes, on completion of the e-learning you receive a certificate of participation. Your progress is clearly tracked during the course and can also be viewed by your manager if required. This shows that you have mastered the functionality of Microsoft Teams, from managing teams and channels to online meetings and collaborating on files.
Can you interrupt the Microsoft Teams e-learning and continue later?
Yes, you can pause the Microsoft Teams e-learning course at any time and continue later from where you left off. Your progress is saved automatically, so you will not lose anything. This makes the course ideal to follow at your own pace, alongside your work or other commitments. Within the access period you decide yourself when you study.
What is the difference between this Microsoft Teams e-learning course and a classroom-based Teams course?
The e-learning consists of 19 video lessons, 19 assignments and a file with additional information. You work independently at your own pace and have 9 months' access. The duration is around 7 hours, which you can spread over several sessions. A classroom Teams course usually takes a day on a fixed date, with a trainer who answers questions directly and goes through the exercises with you. Choose the e-learning if you want to plan flexibly, be able to review material and test yourself through assignments. You only move on to the next topic once you have sufficiently mastered the previous one. A classroom day is a better fit if you need direct interaction and the chance to spar with the trainer and fellow participants. The content (teams, channels, meetings, sharing files) is comparable in both formats. Copilot in Teams is covered optionally.
Does this Microsoft Teams e-learning also cover Copilot for Teams?
Yes, the e-learning course optionally covers Microsoft Teams in combination with Microsoft 365 Copilot. Copilot is the AI assistant within Teams that helps you with daily tasks: summarising meetings, extracting action points from a conversation, searching through chats and drafting messages. You learn how to use Copilot during and after an online meeting, and how to use the AI to navigate long conversations in a channel more quickly. Please note: to use Copilot in Teams you need a separate Microsoft 365 Copilot licence from your organisation. The basic functionality of Teams (channels, chats, meetings, file sharing) remains the main subject of the course. The Copilot part is an addition for those who work with it in practice.
How does this Microsoft Teams e-learning course compare with free YouTube tutorials or the Microsoft Learn documentation?
Learnit's Microsoft Teams e-learning is a structured programme of 19 lesson videos, 19 assignments and a file with additional information. It takes about 7 hours to complete and you have 9 months of access. It differs from YouTube or Microsoft Learn in three ways. First, the learning path is built up in a fixed order: from creating teams and channels, to chats and meetings, through to sharing files and working together. Second, you check your knowledge per topic with an assignment and can only move on once it is up to standard. Third, your progress is recorded and can, if desired, be viewed by your manager, which is useful for corporate learning programmes. YouTube offers separate explanations per feature. This e-learning offers a complete curriculum with progress tracking.
How do I decide whether this Microsoft Teams e-learning course is enough, or whether a classroom course would suit me better?
Choose the e-learning if you want to study independently, set your own pace and mainly master the practical features of Teams. You get 9 months' access, with 19 video lessons, 19 assignments and a duration of around 7 hours. You can stop at any time, your progress is saved and you can review the material as often as you like within the licence. A classroom course is a better fit if you need direct interaction with a trainer, want to ask questions about your own working situation or want to practise scenarios together with colleagues. Do you work in a team that is just introducing Teams and would you like everyone to learn at their own pace? Then the e-learning is often the more practical choice. Copilot in Teams is covered optionally.
Can I also use this Microsoft Teams e-learning as a reference work within my organisation, for example for an entire department?
Yes, that is possible. The Microsoft Teams e-learning consists of 19 lesson videos, 19 assignments and a file with additional information, and you keep access for 9 months. Within that period you can review and work through topics as often as you like. That makes the course suitable as a reference work: an employee who has questions later on about channels, online meetings or working together on files can go straight back to that section. For departments this is practical, because everyone works at their own pace and progress can be viewed by a manager. If you want several employees to start at the same time, you can purchase licences per participant through Learnit. For a joint learning programme with guidance and practice based on your own work situations, a classroom or in-company course is a more logical choice.
What can I do with Copilot in Microsoft Teams, and is that covered in this e-learning?
Copilot in Microsoft Teams is the AI assistant that helps you with meetings, chats and collaboration. In practical terms, you can have Copilot summarise a meeting, list action points, summarise discussions you missed in a channel and answer questions about what has been discussed. It only works if your organisation has a Microsoft 365 Copilot licence (separate from the standard Teams licence). In this Microsoft Teams e-learning course, Copilot is covered as an optional topic, alongside the core subjects such as managing teams and channels, online meetings and working on files together. The focus is on Teams itself. The Copilot section is an addition, not a full Copilot course. If you want to learn to work with Copilot in depth, a separate Microsoft 365 Copilot course is a better fit.
