Which parts of Office 365 are covered in the e-learning course?
The e-learning covers OneDrive, SharePoint, Outlook Online, Word Online, Excel Online, PowerPoint Online, OneNote and Teams. You learn to share files via OneDrive, collaborate in team sites, manage email and calendars in Outlook, and work as a team via Teams. Microsoft 365 Copilot, the AI assistant within Office 365, is also covered as an option.
Do you need prior knowledge for the Office 365 e-learning course?
No, you do not need any specific prior knowledge for the Office 365 e-learning course. Basic computer skills are enough to get started. The e-learning course is suitable for any user who wants to get to know Office 365 or take their knowledge further. You work at your own pace through 20 lesson videos and 20 assignments, so you only move on once you have mastered the previous topic.
Do you receive a certificate after the Office 365 e-learning course?
Yes, on completing the Office 365 e-learning course you receive a certificate of participation. Your progress is tracked automatically during the course and can also be made visible to your manager on request. Once you have successfully completed all 20 instructional videos and the accompanying assignments, the certificate is yours.
Can you also take the Office 365 e-learning course with Copilot?
Yes, the Office 365 e-learning course optionally covers Microsoft 365 Copilot. You learn how to use the AI assistant within Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Teams to work faster, summarise emails, draft documents and analyse data. This part is an addition to the regular lesson videos and assignments on Office 365.
When should you choose an Office 365 e-learning course rather than a classroom-based course?
An e-learning suits you if you want to work at your own pace and schedule flexibly around your work. You get 9 months' access, so you can log in per section, pause and continue later. A classroom course is stronger if you are looking for interaction with a trainer, want to ask questions about your own working situation or want to work through the material in a group. This e-learning contains 20 lesson videos, 20 assignments and 6 case files, and you only move on to the next topic once you have mastered the previous one. Do you have a manager who wants to follow your progress? That is possible with this e-learning. Unsure which of the two formats to choose? Look at your learning style, your diary and whether you need guidance with practical questions.
How does this e-learning compare with the official Microsoft Learn content that is available free of charge?
Microsoft Learn offers separate modules and documentation per product, without a fixed learning path and without progress tracking for an employer. This e-learning course is a structured programme of 20 instructional videos, 20 assignments and 6 in-depth files that cover the entire Office 365 suite coherently: OneDrive, SharePoint, Outlook Online, Office Online, OneNote and Teams. You work through the topics in a fixed order and only move on once you have mastered the material, which is not the case with freely available documentation. Your progress is recorded and can be made visible to your manager if required. You have 9 months' access, so you can work at your own pace. Choose Microsoft Learn if you want to look up one specific feature. Choose this e-learning course if you want to learn the whole Office 365 package systematically and be able to demonstrate your progress.
Who is this Office 365 e-learning course most suitable for, and when is something else a better choice?
The Office 365 e-learning course suits employees who want to learn to work independently with the entire Office 365 environment: OneDrive, SharePoint, Outlook Online, Office Online, OneNote and Teams. You get 20 instructional videos, 20 assignments and 6 dossiers, and you work through the material at your own pace. That works well if you want to plan flexibly and cover a broad range from basic to advanced level. Choose a different format if you would rather receive direct feedback from a trainer, if you want to cover a specific component in depth (for example only Excel or only Teams administration), or if your team wants to agree on shared working practices for collaborating in SharePoint. In those cases, a classroom course, a bespoke solution or an in-company programme is a better fit.
How much time does it take to work through the whole Office 365 e-learning course, and can you do it alongside your job?
The e-learning consists of 20 lesson videos, 20 assignments and 6 in-depth dossiers, spread across seven topics: the Office 365 environment, OneDrive, SharePoint/team sites, Outlook Online, Office Online (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), OneNote and Teams. Allow around 8 to 15 hours of study in total, depending on your pace and how much you already know. You get 9 months' access, so you can spread it out comfortably alongside your work. The course runs in the cloud, you do not need to install anything and you can stop at any moment and continue later. Your progress is saved as you go. As an option, you can also include working with Microsoft 365 Copilot in Office 365. That fits well with an approach of, say, 2 to 3 modules a week.
What makes this e-learning course different from a YouTube tutorial or a free introductory video from Microsoft?
A YouTube tutorial gives you a stand-alone explanation of a single feature. This e-learning offers a structured learning path through the entire Office 365 environment, with 20 lesson videos, 20 assignments and 6 dossiers containing additional information. You only move on to the next topic once you have sufficiently mastered the assignments of the previous section. That obliges you to apply the material actively rather than just watching passively. Your progress is recorded and can be made visible to your manager if required, which is useful in a business learning setting. As an option, you can also spend time on Microsoft 365 Copilot, the AI assistant in Office 365. You get 9 months' access, so you can work at your own pace and repeat sections.
What does Copilot add if I already have a good command of Office 365 after this e-learning?
Copilot is the AI assistant that works within Office 365 and speeds up or automates tasks for you. Where this e-learning course teaches you how to create documents in Word, build formulas in Excel or manage emails in Outlook yourself, Copilot takes over part of that work: summarising a Word document, writing a first draft based on a prompt, analysing data in Excel or summarising an email thread in Outlook. The optional Copilot module in this course shows you how to write effective prompts and where Copilot gets its information from (your files in OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams). You need a basic knowledge of Office 365 to judge whether Copilot produces a usable result. That is why the combination makes sense: first understand the tools, then use AI as an accelerator.
