Introduction to MS Word for Beginners
Our Beginner Microsoft Word Course gives a practical introduction to Word.
It is ideal for professionals in admin and operations roles, or teams looking to boost productivity and spend less time formatting documents.
During the day, you will learn how to navigate Word confidently.
You will practice editing and formatting text, managing layouts and themes, creating simple tables, and building documents that look clean and professional.
The session is hands-on from the start, so you will work in Word throughout, practising useful tools and everyday shortcuts.
The course focuses on the core skills beginners need most. It is perfect if you are completely new to Word, self-taught, or only using a few features.
If you already know the basics and want to learn automation, styles, long-document management, or advanced formatting, our Advanced Word Course is a better fit.
