Between overflowing inboxes, constant meetings and scattered files, it’s easy to feel like your digital tools are running you, not the other way around. Many professionals rely on Microsoft 365 but only access a small part of its potential. Without the right practical know-how to manage these tools, individuals and organisations struggle to work efficiently and collaborate effectively.
The Productivity with Microsoft 365 Tools short course is a hands-on, one-day program for professionals who want to stay organised and improve workflow. You will learn ways to use of Outlook, Teams, OneNote, SharePoint, To Do and OneDrive in combination to manage information and collaborate efficiently. In addition, you’ll explore the free version of Microsoft’s Copilot Chat to support content creation and enhancement, helping you work smarter and more creatively.
Is this course right for you?
This course is designed for professionals who manage or contribute to projects in any industry. It’s ideal for project managers, team leaders and professionals in operations, finance, marketing or HR who want to use AI to improve project planning, reporting and decision-making.
