What do you learn in the Word Basics + Advanced e-learning?

In the Word Basics + Advanced e-learning course you learn to enter and format text, lay out pages and save documents. After that you get to work with tables, images, charts and mailings. The course consists of 2 modules with a total of 103 lesson videos and 103 assignments. Optionally, you can also cover Word in combination with Microsoft 365 Copilot.

How long do you have access to the Word Basics + Advanced e-learning?

You have access to the online learning platform for 6 months from the moment you start. Each module takes around 7 hours to complete, so allow around 14 hours for the whole bundle. Within those 6 months you can review and repeat the course as often as you like, at your own pace and from any location with internet.

Do you need prior knowledge for the Word Basics + Advanced e-learning?

No, you do not need any prior knowledge for the Word Basics + Advanced e-learning course. The course starts from the very beginning: opening documents, entering and formatting text. After that you build up step by step to tables, images and mailings. Basic experience with Windows and a mouse is sufficient. Anyone who wants to learn Word (again) can start straight away.

How many hours does the Word Basics + Advanced e-learning take in total?

The total duration is approximately 14 hours: around 7 hours per module. Module 1 consists of 61 lesson videos with 61 assignments and 6 files, module 2 of 42 lesson videos with 42 assignments and 1 file. You work at your own pace and can stop in between. Your progress is saved automatically, so you can continue later where you left off.

Do I receive a certificate after the Word Basics + Advanced e-learning?

Yes, on completing the Word Basics + Advanced e-learning you receive a certificate of participation from LearnIt. You receive this certificate as soon as you have successfully completed all lesson videos and assignments of both modules. The certificate shows that you have mastered the basic and advanced functions of Word, a nice addition to your CV or LinkedIn profile.

Can the Word Basics + Advanced e-learning course also be taken with Microsoft 365 Copilot?

Yes, the e-learning optionally covers Word in combination with Microsoft 365 Copilot. You learn how to use the AI assistant in Word to generate, summarise or rewrite texts. This section is an addition to the standard Word functionality. Don't have a Copilot licence? Then you can simply work through all the other topics in full.

When should you choose the Word Basics + Advanced e-learning instead of a classroom Word course?

The e-learning is a good choice if you want to learn flexibly, at your own pace and at times that suit you. You work independently through 103 lesson videos and 103 exercises, spread across two modules of roughly 7 hours each. You have 6 months' access, so you can break off and continue later. A classroom course is a better fit if you want direct interaction with a trainer, want to ask questions about your own documents, or want to be finished in one or two days. The e-learning takes more time overall, but gives you the scope to revisit topics for as long as your licence is valid. For large groups of staff, for example during a migration to a new version of Office, the e-learning is often more cost-effective and more scalable than classroom training.

What is the difference between the Word Basics + Advanced e-learning and individual YouTube tutorials?

The Word Basics + Advanced e-learning is a structured programme with 103 lesson videos, 103 assignments and 7 files with additional information, divided over two modules. For each subject you complete an assignment, and you only move on once you have sufficient command of the previous part. That is the main difference with individual tutorials on YouTube: there you decide the order yourself, you often miss the bigger picture and there is no test moment that confirms your knowledge. The material builds up from basic operations (formatting, paragraphs, printing) to advanced functions (tables, images, mailings and merge fields). You have 6 months' access and can pause and continue at any time. Optionally, you can also look at Word with Microsoft 365 Copilot. Choose this e-learning if you want a complete learning path instead of separate answers to separate questions.

Which type of employee is the Word Basics + Advanced e-learning suitable for, and when is the Expert version the better choice?

The Word Basics + Advanced e-learning course is suitable for employees who use Word daily or regularly for documents, reports, letters and mailings, but have never learned the software in a structured way. Think of administrative staff, secretaries, project staff and freelancers who want to format their documents faster and more professionally. You will learn basic operations (text formatting, paragraphs, page setup) and advanced functions (tables, images, mailings, merge fields). Choose the Expert variant if you are already comfortable with mailings and tables and want to progress to long documents with styles, tables of contents, sections, templates and collaboration using tracked changes. Not sure? The Basics + Advanced bundle is the right starting point for 95% of office roles. The Copilot sections are optionally available for those who want to work with AI support in Word.

How quickly can I apply what I learn in the Word Basics + Advanced e-learning course in my daily work?

Straight away, because the e-learning is built around practical exercises that you can repeat in your own Word documents as you go. Module 1 (61 instructional videos, 61 exercises) focuses on entering text, formatting, paragraphs, page setup and spelling and grammar checking. You use those skills from lesson 1 onwards in letters, reports and notes. Module 2 (42 instructional videos, 42 exercises) covers tables, images, charts, envelopes, labels and mailings with variable fields, which you apply in customer correspondence and merged documents. For each module you should allow around 7 hours of study time, spread over short blocks. Because you can only continue after completing an exercise successfully, you practise every topic until you have it down. In practice, participants notice a difference in their day-to-day tasks within a week.

Does this e-learning also work on a Mac, or do I really need Windows and an installed version of Word?

The Word Basics + Advanced e-learning runs entirely in the cloud. You log in via a website and work through the 61 lesson videos of module 1 and the 42 lesson videos of module 2 there. Nothing needs to be installed on your computer, not even a Microsoft Office package. That means the course works on Windows, macOS, Linux and in principle on any device with a modern browser and an internet connection. So you do not need your own Word licence to take the course. If you want to apply what you have learned directly in your own Word, that is of course handy, but it is not a requirement for the assignments and knowledge tests within the e-learning. Practical note: a laptop or desktop works more comfortably than a tablet, because you are dealing with word processing and formatting.

What can I expect from the Copilot part of this e-learning, and is that enough to really use Copilot in Word?

The Copilot component is an optional addition to the Word Basics + Advanced e-learning. You learn how to use Microsoft 365 Copilot in Word to generate drafts, rewrite existing text, create summaries and have documents improved in terms of tone and structure. It is an introduction at user level, not a prompt engineering course. Afterwards you know how to call up Copilot in Word, which types of instructions work well and where the limits lie (Copilot does not replace final editing). Condition: you need a Microsoft 365 licence with Copilot in order to practise yourself. Without that licence you can view the explanations and examples, but you cannot follow along in your own Word. For everyday business use this provides a sufficient foundation.

Optionally, you also know how to use Copilot in Word to write and edit more quickly.

Target audience

This e-learning is intended for anyone who wants to master (or re-master) the basic operations in Word and then progress to the more advanced functions. Whether you are starting from scratch or want to refresh and expand your knowledge: you work at your own pace on a solid Word foundation and additional skills such as tables, images and mailings. Optionally, you also get to know Word in combination with Microsoft 365 Copilot.

Teaching method

You follow this course entirely online through e-learning. Each module offers dozens of short instructional videos, followed by exercises in which you immediately apply what you have seen. Only once you have sufficiently mastered a topic do you move on to the next. This way you build up your knowledge step by step, at your own pace and in a place that suits you.

You have access to the platform for six months from the start. You can stop along the way: your progress is saved automatically, so you can pick up later exactly where you left off. Optionally, during the course you can also spend time on Word in combination with Microsoft 365 Copilot.

Prior knowledge

You do not need any prior knowledge. Can you handle a computer and do you know how to open and save a file? Then you can get started straight away. A laptop with an internet connection is all you need to follow the e-learning.

Comments

You work through this e-learning at your own pace and have 6 months' access to the platform. Optionally, you can also look at Word in combination with Microsoft 365 Copilot.

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.

Taking a training course at Learnit means learning together. Together with your experienced trainer, together with your course group or together with your colleagues.

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.

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.
