Microsoft Teams Training Courses

Choose Teams training for everyday participation or for building the spaces a team uses. The catalogue includes Introduction to Teams, Utilizing MS Teams and Teams Expert.

Introduction to Teams builds confidence with chats, calls, channels and files. Utilizing MS Teams explores calendars, posts, approved apps and file collaboration, with examples for legal and professional workplaces.

Teams Expert covers workspace structure, channels, tabs, permissions and connections to SharePoint. Your organisation controls the access available during practical work. Confirm those permissions before training; a collaboration course is not a compliance or security certification.

If you are not sure which of these you are ready for, the skill assessment asks eight questions about what you already do and recommends one. It takes about five minutes and asks for nothing in return.

Who teaches this

Frank Byl — Microsoft Master Instructor

Teaches Excel, Office 365, SharePoint, Project. Read the full bio and meet the other instructors, including how the CAFE method structures a class.

What comes with the course

  • 90 days of video-library access, with the exercise files from class.
  • A free retake for one year — the same course again, at no charge.
  • No more than 10 people in a public class.
  • In person or live online, with the same hands-on format either way.

Training several people at once? Corporate training is scoped to your team's skill mix and built around your own files, which for a group is almost always the better format.

Teams training questions

How do I choose a suitable course?

Compare the tasks in each outline with the work you need to do. Check starting skills and software versions, then contact us if you need help choosing a level.

Where can I see current dates and fees?

Each course links to its booking page. Choose a session there and review the time zone, delivery details, currency and final fee before registering.

Can our team arrange private training?

Yes. Contact us with your team size, current skills, software and the work you want to improve so we can discuss an appropriate training scope.

Choose a Teams level from your collaboration task

The public Teams ladder moves from navigation, chat, meetings and file collaboration to more involved organisation and connected SharePoint concepts. Select the level that matches both your skills and the actions your account is permitted to perform.

Describe whether the problem is finding information, working on shared files or organising a team workspace. Confirm licences, permissions and your organisation’s collaboration rules before practice. A course does not automatically grant administrator access or change those rules.

Prepare Teams for the live class

Sign in to the correct work account and confirm that meetings, chat and file access work on the device you will use. If your organisation restricts guest access or app installation, arrange the necessary support before class rather than changing settings without approval.

Use a non-sensitive practice file and know which window you are sharing. Check the booking page’s time zone and the course outline so the online setup supports the task you intend to learn.

Select the Teams level by responsibility

Introduction is the starting comparison for navigation, chat, calls, channels and basic file collaboration. Utilizing Teams develops organised discussions, calendars, files, sharing and application use. Expert addresses the structure of teams and channels and their relationship to SharePoint and other tools.

Tell Power Concepts whether you mainly participate, coordinate work or help organise a team’s workspace. A person’s job title is less useful than the permissions and responsibilities they will actually exercise after training.

Run a meeting with a clear purpose

In a practice meeting, define the purpose, attendee roles and the material to be shared. Test audio and the presentation window, then agree how questions and action items will be captured. The exercise should include ending with a clear owner for each next step.

Ask which Teams course fits the meeting responsibilities you need. Presenting a small internal discussion, hosting a webinar and administering meeting policy are different scopes and should not be treated as interchangeable because they use the same application.

Choose channels around work people can find

Use a fictional project with several workstreams and decide which discussions and files belong together. A channel should help someone locate the current conversation without reconstructing it from unrelated chats. Write a short purpose for each proposed channel before creating it.

Introduction covers channel navigation, while Expert includes organising teams and channels around working practices. For a team workshop, bring the work structure and ownership rules so the design supports daily use instead of simply adding more spaces.

Keep one working file and a clear sharing path

For an exercise, share one approved document from the team workspace and have two learners edit it. Compare that with sending separate attachment copies. Check where the file lives, who can access it and how the current version is identified.

Utilizing Teams explicitly covers sharing, permissions, syncing and opening files in desktop or web apps. The goal is a collaboration process that people can explain and maintain, including what to do when a colleague cannot open the file.

Use chat for the conversation it suits

A quick question may fit a chat, while an ongoing workstream may need a channel where the team can find its history. Use a fictional decision with an attached file and decide where a new colleague should look for the final outcome.

Introduction to Teams covers chat and calls. Training should help users choose an appropriate place for the conversation and preserve important actions, not just practise sending messages faster.

Verify licence and policy requirements for the task

Teams capabilities depend on the account, licence and organisation’s settings. Confirm the actual feature you want to practise, especially where the requirement involves guests, webinars, recording or additional applications. A course booking does not supply an assumed licence entitlement.

Ask your administrator to confirm the approved practice environment. This keeps training focused on end-user skills and avoids treating unavailable features or blocked permissions as something the learner should bypass.

Practise collaboration with a small shared scenario

Use a fictional project brief, one shared document and a short meeting. Ask learners to find the right channel, locate the file, make an agreed change and record an action. Then have another learner find the current result without receiving a new attachment.

This exercise connects navigation, discussion and file collaboration. Confirm the course’s specific practice arrangement before class and use material that the organisation has approved for sharing in the training environment.
