Many colleges and business units took advantage of Microsoft training opportunities during the transition from BuckeyeBox to OneDrive and Teams. But did you know you can still receive instructor-led training online for Microsoft applications as your workgroups make changes and adopt new tools?

OTDI works with Microsoft to host online instructor-led training for numerous Microsoft products. The training is free as part of our Microsoft contract, and can benefit your team because you can plan it  for when your team needs it most. Contact us when you are ready to start using an Office 365 tools that is new to your team.

“I have received a lot of positive feedback about (the) training,” said Kim Young, Chief Administrative Officer for the John Glenn College of Public Affairs after a recent class. “The info, pace, and humor made for a very useful session.”

This training is a great option for teams of all sizes because you do not need to have a large group of users. We do require a minimum of 15 attendees before we can plan an instructor-led class, and if your team is too small for a dedicated session, we will try to pair you with another team to assemble enough students for a class. A list of classes is below.
