How Many People Should Attend Our Private Microsoft 365 Power User Courses?

Whilst the number of people who attend our private Microsoft 365 courses is essentially up to you and dependant upon the number of learners you have who need to receive the training (up to our ten delegate per course maximum), we encourage all of our clients to keep your class sizes small where possible. This provides a more personable and effective learning experience for you and allows the trainer to give more individual attention to each and every student.

What is the Teaching Method for Our Microsoft 365 Power User Courses?

The teaching method for our private Microsoft 365 courses is Instructor-led training (ILT), which means that our courses are engaging, immersive, hands-on and interactive, and thereby facilitate more effective learning and information retention. With this participatory learning method your staff will retain information better, whether they are studying Microsoft 365 subjects in-person or via live virtual classroom. And, whilst we are happy to provide lectures, demonstrations and show-and-tells for larger groups (plus drop-in surgeries for ad hoc technical advice and explanation), the instructor-led training approach is by far the most reliable teaching methodology to bring your Microsoft 365 know-how to life in a small-class-size setting.

Usual teaching hours for our Microsoft 365 courses are 9.30AM to 4.30PM with an hour for lunch and two short breaks morning and afternoon.
