Microsoft Office and Microsoft 365 training
Microsoft's workplace applications support spreadsheets, documents, presentations, email, and collaboration. Many organizations use them through Microsoft 365, while others use specific desktop versions. Start by identifying the application and version your team uses, then choose training for the tasks you need to complete.
Choose an application by the work you do
- Excel for Business Bootcamp develops spreadsheet skills for organizing data, calculations, analysis, and reporting.
- PowerPoint Bootcamp develops presentation skills, from building slides to using more advanced features.
- Microsoft Word Bootcamp develops document creation and formatting skills across beginner and advanced Word topics.
- Microsoft Outlook Level I and Microsoft Outlook Level II focus on email, calendars, contacts, and other Outlook workflows.
The applications often work together. You might analyze figures in Excel, explain the findings in PowerPoint, and document a process in Word. Understanding which tool suits each task helps you produce work that is easier for colleagues to use.
Choose the appropriate course level
A beginner class builds a consistent foundation. Intermediate or advanced training is useful when you already complete everyday tasks and need more efficient methods or more complex features. Compare the course outline and prerequisites with your current skills rather than choosing a level only by how long you have used the software.
Bootcamps combine multiple levels into a sequence. Individual classes let you focus on a specific skill gap. For a group, different experience levels may call for separate sessions so that beginners can build confidence while experienced users continue progressing.
Collaboration and team workflows
Microsoft 365 can also support collaboration through applications such as Teams and SharePoint. Training should reflect the tools your organization has enabled and the way your colleagues share, review, and manage work. Ask NYIM about a program suited to those workflows.
Using shared files well involves more than knowing where a button is. Clear file naming, access choices, version awareness, and agreed processes make it easier for a team to work consistently.
Skills training and certification
NYIM offers application classes and Microsoft certification programs. Check the current credential and exam version, what training and tutoring are included, and how testing is arranged on the specific program page. Those benefits should not be assumed to apply to every ordinary class.
Choose certification when it serves a professional or employer requirement. Choose skills training when you want to improve a particular workflow. Completing a class and passing an exam are different outcomes.
Learn in the format that fits your work
Attend available classes in Manhattan or join live online. Check the course's software version and setup requirements before enrollment, especially when comparing Windows and Mac workflows or different Outlook versions.
For private or onsite team training, identify the applications, tasks, and experience levels involved. A concrete goal, such as clearer reports or more consistent presentations, helps shape a useful program. Current dates, tuition, prerequisites, and policies are listed on each course page.
