Microsoft Outlook Training?

skea56

Does anyone know of a company or individual within the Willenhall or Brierley hill area of the Midlands that could provide some training on the workings and capabilities of Outlook?

We use Outlook just for email, but I think it could be utilised so much more with Calendar and Address book etc, but I have no idea where to start!!

I'm doubtful if you'll find anyone, but even if you do it's probably not a great thing to spend money on. Outlook is a very basic program, it's not the sort of thing that requires much in the way of training. I'd just find some guides online, read them, and experiment. For instance:

(this was just the first result of a Google search)

Outlook isn't a basic programme, especially when used in an Office 365 or Exchange setting. Most people use it as a basic programme though.

You may find that the best training is delivered as part of an Office Suite programme

Just use youtube to learn it and if you wish to cascade to colleagues, so be it. It will be free that way.

I dont think its all that difficult to use, we use quite a few of the features and have it connected to our phones and watnot.

Youll get it within a week.

It depends what level of knowledge is required. On face value, Outlook is relatively simple and user friendly in its basic functions for mail, calendar and task organisation.

If it's implementation training in terms of setting up a business Exchange, 365 or hybrid environment, that might be something to bring in a pro on.


If you want to PM me for any advice feel free.

Learndirect offer a distance learning course for £85 ea or up to £300 per person for face to face training.

Or you could cobble up an informal learning resources, by looking up whats required for the MOS outlook exam find the matching youtube tutorials, and combine that with some training on email management/etiquette.

Reggie is right, the majority of MS software is only used at a basic level, I have seen some very whizzy tools and applications developed in excel and access
