Microsoft Word Training Courses
Choose the Word course that matches the documents you need to produce. Everyday formatting, longer documents and collaborative review call for different skills.
Introduction to Word establishes editing and page-layout habits. Word Intermediate 1 focuses on business-document formatting. Intermediate 2 adds tables, pictures, references, contents pages and reusable building blocks. The two intermediate parts are booked separately.
Word Advanced covers mail merge, document comparison, comments, tracked changes and collaboration. If your main goal is drafting with AI, compare the separate Copilot in Word course and check that your account has access to Copilot.

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.

Word 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 Word training from the document you produce
Word course selection is clearer when you describe the document and the difficulty. A short letter, a structured report and a document revised by several contributors require different skills.
Compare the introduction, the two separately bookable intermediate parts and the advanced outline. Use a fictional or sanitised example to identify the features you need. Page appearance alone is not enough: consider whether headings, references and changes remain reliable when another person edits the document.

Use document structure deliberately
A heading should describe the content that follows and belong to a consistent level in the document. In a practice report, compare a document built with a deliberate structure against one that only uses manual font changes. Check navigation and later editing, not only the first page’s appearance.
If styles are a must-have topic, ask for exact syllabus confirmation. The public Word outlines describe formatting and document structure, while particular style-management workflows should be confirmed against the session you plan to book.

Check the data source before a mail merge
Use a fictional recipient list with separate fields for names, addresses and the relevant message details. Include one incomplete record and preview the output before producing the full set. A correct merge layout still needs a clean and authorised data source.
Word Advanced explicitly covers letters, labels and email mail merges. Keep the exercise separate from live distribution; preparing a merged document does not authorise sending messages or sharing personal information.

Keep review decisions visible
Give two reviewers a practice document with different suggested edits. Compare the versions, inspect the changes and decide which to accept or reject. Preserve the review copy so the final wording can be explained if questions arise later.
Word Advanced includes comparing and combining documents, comments and revisions from multiple contributors. A useful workplace process also defines who has the final decision, where the approved version is stored and when review copies can be archived.

Choose Word training by document complexity
Introduction covers everyday editing, formatting and page layout. Intermediate 1 develops business-document formatting, while Intermediate 2 adds tables, images, references and reusable building blocks. Advanced addresses mail merge and collaborative revision workflows.
The intermediate parts are booked separately. Describe the kind of document you need to produce and the feature that causes difficulty, then compare that task with the outlines instead of assuming the highest course level is always the best fit.
