Microsoft Productivity Award

By leveraging the robust communication features of Microsoft Teams and the comprehensive information management capabilities of SharePoint, organisations can enhance collaboration, streamline workflows, and improve overall productivity. Integrating these tools into daily operations leads to more efficient work processes, better project management, and a more connected and informed workforce.

With the freedom to study at a time and place that suits you best, there are many benefits to our strategic Microsoft Productivity Award:

• Flexible training that fits around your commitments
• Support on hand from our friendly Learning Coaches
• Learning skills that will have an immediate impact on your productivity on the job

Microsoft Teams
Microsoft Teams is an application that provides a powerful workspace for collaboration, communications, meetings, and file sharing. In this course, you will explore the key features and functionalities of Teams.

Microsoft SharePoint
SharePoint is a comprehensive enterprise platform, connecting people with the tools and resources they use daily. SharePoint allows organisations to create intranet sites and enables users to store, organise, share, and access information from any device.

Plus
One other Microsoft course of your choosing, such as Excel, Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, Access, or Project.

There are no pre-requisites for this Award.

Wherever possible our training is tailored to your needs. The cost of our training programmes depend on the course(s) you choose and varies according to duration and breadth. Rest assured we have a number of payment options available to ensure the cost of training is affordable and can be worked alongside your other financial commitments. Common ways people fund their training include: –

Self-Funded:

• Flexible payment plans to help you spread the cost* available at many of our centres;
• You could opt to pay upfront.

Company Funded:

Requesting funding from your employers needn’t be a daunting task. Many employers support and encourage their employees with their professional development and consider it a worthwhile investment to fund any training required.

What we can help with:

• Providing a comprehensive training programme outlining learning outcomes
• Tailored personnel letters
• Communication with finance departments to arrange payment options (upfront or payment plan*).

Funding & Grants:

There may be the opportunity to apply for funded grants that can help towards the cost of training. These include the Skills Development Scotland ITAs and the ReAct programme in Wales. All schemes will have different terms and conditions that will need to be met in order to qualify for a grant and these are managed by each individual centre.

We’d recommend you speak to a Course Advisor in your local centre to find out whether they are registered to offer any such schemes and discuss your requirements further.

* Terms and Conditions apply. Speak to a Course Advisor for full information on the options available to you.

The new skills gained from studying this Award will make your work more efficient and more valuable to employers who are looking for ways to improve productivity with everyday tasks.
