Due to the significant level of cross-over of subject matter this course is not suitable for delegates who have already attended the M20347 ‘Enabling and Managing Office 365’ course.

This is an extremely high paced course aimed at delegates who want an initial exposure to Office365 concepts and technologies. Due to the breadth of subject matter covered in the three days there is potentially limited opportunity for practical exercises during the 3 days but lab access is provided free of charge for 30 days in order for students to complete labs post course.

Delegates who are completely new to Office365 or who are not comfortable with an extremely high paced delivery should instead consider M20347 “Enabling and Managing Office 365” which covers most of the same topics at a less demanding intensity and more detail and opportunity to complete the labs within the class.
