Who is the Office 365 course suitable for?

When should you opt for a classroom-based Office 365 course and when is e-learning or self-study via YouTube enough?
Classroom training works best if you want to use Office 365 across the organisation and have to make decisions about ways of working: where do you store files, how do you use Teams channels, when do you use Planner and when OneNote. You won't learn those trade-offs from individual YouTube clips. Learnit's course is classroom-based. You practise with OneDrive, Teams, Planner, OneNote and online collaboration in Word and Excel, and you can ask the trainer to demonstrate specific features. Self-study or e-learning is fine if you want to look up a single feature. If you want to set up a workable way of collaborating in the cloud, classroom training is more efficient.
What is the difference between the Office 365 course and a separate Teams or OneDrive course?
The Office 365 course is an overarching course in which you learn which program to use for which task within Microsoft 365. OneDrive, Teams, Planner, OneNote and online collaboration in Word and Excel are covered in relation to one another. A separate Teams or OneDrive course goes into one application in more depth and deals with advanced features within that single program. Choose the Office 365 course if your organisation has just made the switch and you want an overview of the entire collaboration landscape. Choose a specific Teams or OneDrive course if you already know the basics and only want to go into depth in that one program. The Office 365 course is taught in a classroom setting.
