“Learn continually. There’s always ‘one more thing’ to learn”. Ironically, this quote from Steve Jobs could never be truer when it comes to Microsoft 365.
We can all ‘get by’ when it comes to using Office 365, but are you getting the most out of it, in the most efficient manner? Given the continuous releases, even we, at 365, learn something new every day, which is why we introduced Learn IT.
Our bi-weekly Learn IT sessions are the ideal forum to refresh your knowledge or learn something new with Office 365 techniques.
It started out as a way of offering bitesize learning for our group of client contacts, but truth be told, it’s also been hugely beneficial for our team as it ensures we stay up to date on the latest developments too!
Over the course of just one hour, we cover quite a lot of knowledge, but with practical elements and take-away content, it’s a great way of embracing the technology available in a really cost-effective and time-saving way.
Going forward, we’re going to be having themed weeks, it could be Excel forecasting, OneDrive filing, or new elements like Sway (do check that out if you haven’t already – it’s an excellent value-added product within your Office 365 membership). Which means you can come along armed with any topic specific questions and hopefully, take away something useful to apply to your business.
“I love Learn IT! Suzanne is so knowledgeable. Not only does she focus on the specific topic, but she’s happy to answer ad-hoc questions, so it’s always really valuable”. Louise, SiGNAL
Each Learn IT session starts out with a discussion, questions, demonstration and then an application, putting what the group is learning into practical use. If this isn’t directly applicable to your business, it is a great way to start thinking ‘outside the box’. Each attendee then gets a trial file and recording to allow for remote learning, or if, like the rest of us, something skips your mind when you try it a month later – the knowledge isn’t gone, simply filed away for you to return to when you need it!
“I have been attending Sheila’s Learn IT sessions for a few months now, and I can honestly say that I learn something new from each one. The sessions are always interactive, with plenty of chances to ask questions where needed. I would highly recommend Learn IT for anyone that wants to stay up to date with new 365 features and also refresh those skills that may have gone a bit rusty over time.” Lisa Woolnough
Excel, being one of the most-used products, is one which is always helpful to learn about, which is why each Learn IT will always include one excel tip.
We cover the whole 365 suite, from Microsoft Teams, Sway, Webinars, Pivot tables and more. There is always something new. Coming up, we have a focus on Sway on 5th July; this is a great way of creating smooth newsletters or presentations with minimal design skills, followed by an Introduction to Power Pivot on 26th July.
Whilst these bitesize sessions are a great taster, you or your organisation may require more intense training, if so, we do also offer focus sessions.
