How Many People Should Attend Our Private Microsoft 365 End 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 End 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.

1) Microsoft Lens (previously Office Lens) is a mobile App PDF scanner which can convert images to PDF, Word, Excel and PowerPoint files. It uses optical character recognition to digitise handwriting and print from Whiteboards and other media such as photos, documents and business cards.
2) From 2024, Microsoft Planner will integrate with Project for the Web and become part of a complete browser-based project management solution.
3) A SharePoint Team Site is a site that is created by a team or a group of people that work together to accomplish specific tasks or goals. It is a collaborative space that provides your team with a central location to share content, work together and co-create.
A SharePoint Communication Site is a modern team site that you can use to communicate with your colleagues and teams and to collaborate with them on documents, spreadsheets, meeting schedules and so forth.
SharePoint Hub Sites are a type of SharePoint Site Collection that enable you to centralise access to related sites in order to make it easier for your users to discover information and collaborate with people.
