Course Description
You’ve used Office 2007 or Office 2010 to create various types of business materials from documents in Microsoft® Word to spreadsheets in Excel® to presentations in PowerPoint®. Perhaps you use Outlook® to manage your calendar, contacts, and email or Access to manage inventory and trouble tickets.

However you use Office, the fact is the Office suite of applications is the de-facto standard for business productivity software. Each new release of Office builds upon the successes of the previous generations. This course builds upon the foundational Microsoft® Office® 2007/2010 knowledge and skills you’ve already acquired.

You’ll discover how the cloud has been deeply integrated into your Office experience and how collaborating with colleagues has never been easier.
