Office 365 Training

The umbrella hub for Microsoft 365 training. Pick the application you need — each has its own courses and its own skill path.

Office 365 is not one product and "Office 365 training" is not one course. What people mean when they ask for it is usually one of three things: a specific application they are stuck in, the collaboration layer that appeared without explanation, or a general levelling-up across a team.

This page is the way into all three. Each application has its own hub with its own courses and its own progression, because Excel and Teams have nothing in common but a subscription. If you know which application you need, go straight there.

If what you need is the collaboration layer — where files live, why the same document is in four places, what SharePoint has to do with Teams — start with Teams training. That is where the structural explanation sits, and it is the one that changes how the rest of the suite behaves. PowerConcepts has run on Office 365 and SharePoint internally since 2013.

If it is a team rather than a person, corporate training is scoped to your systems and skill mix instead of a fixed public syllabus. Either way the same things apply: live instructors, classes capped at 10, 90 days of video-library access afterwards and a free retake for a year.

Dates, prices and registration for Office 365 are handled in our booking system, which is always current. See the schedule and register. Prefer to talk it through? Contact us and we will help you pick the right level.

Office 365 courses

Courses in this stream are scheduled through the booking system. The live Office 365 schedule lists everything currently running, with dates and pricing. Course pages will appear here as the catalog is connected.

Where each course sits

Each application has its own ladder. Pick the one you need rather than working across.

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.

Office 365 training questions

Is Office 365 the same as Microsoft 365?

Effectively yes — Microsoft renamed most Office 365 plans to Microsoft 365 in 2020. We use both names because both are still in common use, and the training is the same either way.

Can you train several applications in one booking?

For a team, yes — corporate training is regularly scoped as a mix, for example Excel for finance and Teams for everyone. Public courses are booked one application at a time.

Do you cover SharePoint?

The SharePoint layer under Teams and OneDrive is covered in Teams training. Deeper SharePoint work — site design, permissions, libraries as a system — is corporate training rather than a public class.

How big are the classes?

Public classes are capped at 10 participants. That cap is the reason the instructor can work with your file rather than only the sample file, and it is deliberate rather than a scheduling accident.

Is remote training the same course as in person?

The same course, the same instructor and the same exercise files. For remote delivery we use software that lets the instructor see every participant’s screen, so when you get stuck the instructor sees it rather than waiting for you to describe it.

What happens if I need to take the course again?

You can retake the same course at no charge any time in the next year, on every course in the catalog. People use it when a promotion changes what they need, or when they simply want the second pass.
