Regardless of the industry in which you work and the type of team you’re managing, Microsoft Office training is an in-demand skill set that will help team members be more productive and efficient with many everyday tasks. Office is a suite of software that was created to help streamline tasks like calendaring, email correspondences, word processing, data management, and virtual meetings. Office remains a hugely popular tool around the globe, with more than 1.2 billion people relying on Office products for professional and personal use. Its ease of use, accessibility, and adaptability across operating systems make it a go-to for organizations of all sizes and types.
Because Office is used by virtually all professionals across sectors, it has nearly endless uses for work tasks. The standard Microsoft Office suite provides users with access to a dozen essential applications. This suite’s core apps, including PowerPoint, Excel, Word, Outlook, and Teams, play an essential role in many daily organizational and communication-related tasks. PowerPoint training can help those on your team create attention-grabbing presentations that can be customized to fit their needs. Microsoft PowerPoint users can easily incorporate images, layer objects, modify texts, and insert shapes using this tool. Excel, the industry-standard spreadsheet application, is a great tool for team members to use to create formulas and charts, perform calculations, format data, and visualize information. Word, which is the most widely used word-processing application on the market, offers users myriad features that help them create, edit, format, save, and print documents. Microsoft Outlook training assists with calendaring tasks, email functions, and managing contact lists. Microsoft Teams, a leading teleconferencing platform, helps team members connect with one another and share documents in real time when they’re in different physical locations.
Teams that know how to leverage various Office products can perform tasks much more efficiently and quickly than those who don’t have this type of training. Office training is an excellent way to ensure team members can clearly communicate with one another and any other stakeholders via written, verbal, or oral correspondence. Those who work in data analysis can rely on Excel’s range of data analysis features to ensure their organization’s information is organized and accessible to those who need it. Additionally, Office has many collaboration features that help team members share presentations, spreadsheets, and documents in real-time. Those trained in using macros can even automate repetitive Excel and Word tasks, leading to greater accuracy and fewer errors.
Regardless of whether you opt to train your team in one Office app or multiple apps, the benefits of this knowledge will not only benefit each team member individually but will contribute to helping your workplace streamline functions, generate revenue, and optimize performance.
If you’re exploring the option of corporate training, various modalities are available, as well as different ways to teach your team members how to use core Office apps. Flexible training options ensure that each team member can maximize their training and schedule it to not interfere with the rest of their workflow.
Noble Desktop understands that live training is the most engaging and effective study option for learning any skill, including office training. Live study options are a great way to ensure that those on your team receive hands-on training in a small, supportive environment that offers individualized support and guidance along the way with either Microsoft PowerPoint or Excel. This form of directed support plays an integral role in ensuring that the lessons covered in training stick and have real-world applications that will make them applicable to the actual working environment.
If you’re interested in providing team members with live Office training but can’t host sessions during the workday, Noble offers discounted prices for those who purchase bulk vouchers for enrollment into its live open registration classes, which take place in-person or live online. These study options provide team members with sufficient flexibility to fully explore Excel or PowerPoint and customize training as necessary to meet their learning needs.
Whereas other educators only provide pre-established study options, Noble Desktop differs in that it offers clients a comprehensive and customizable training service for live study that can be tailored to meet any organization or team’s needs. Participants in corporate Office training will receive hands-on training from a live instructor who has industry experience working with Office and can share their knowledge with learners at all levels. All team members benefit from this supportive, live environment, where they can ask real-time questions and receive immediate guidance. This ensures the PowerPoint or Excel training they receive, either from the comfort of their home or directly at your corporate offices, is relevant to their actual job.
Noble’s corporate training distinguishes itself from the competition in that team members can communicate directly with a live instructor, who’s there to help them along the way with any challenges they encounter when they explore advanced Excel concepts like macros or try to learn advanced PowerPoint design features like layering. Whether training takes place in a live virtual classroom or in person, team members can work through learning challenges in real-time in a supportive and guided environment.
Those interested in booking private Office training sessions with Noble Desktop can choose from renting a room at Noble’s location in Midtown Manhattan or hosting Noble directly at their workplace. Noble can even customize training options with topics and datasets that aren’t typically taught in standard coursework. Noble can also add branding to fit a team’s on-the-job needs. Those who would rather stick to a standard curriculum and avoid coordinating these logistics can also opt to do so.
Group vouchers are available for purchase, so your employees can attend any Noble course at their convenience. Classes are available on weekends, weekdays, and weeknights to accommodate those with busy schedules. They are offered in-person at Noble’s Manhattan office as well as live online. Employers who purchase a large block of vouchers receive a custom registration tracking portal for managing them. This ensures all team members can easily book courses that are offered outside of the umbrella of corporate training.
Because Noble offers a range of classes in Excel and PowerPoint, employers don’t have to fret about finding a way to coordinate with every employee to select coursework for them. Instead, each employee can use their own voucher to select the class most suited to their scheduling needs, location, and proficiency with Office apps.
Employees who attend Noble’s corporate training with leave their studies proficient with PowerPoint or Excel and will be able to immediately implement the skills they’ve acquired at work. Those who attend corporate training also leave with course files, which they can keep forever as a guide to continue their training on a daily basis.
The hands-on curriculum Noble offers and its pointed instruction is intended to help those with all types of learning styles master Office concepts and skills. Rather than offering a generic, one-size-fits-all learning approach, training is designed to simulate the typical challenges your employees will actually face when they’re at work. Noble can even customize projects in the curriculum and incorporate your organization’s datasets in the Excel component of training to ensure employees acquire the Office skills they’ll need to succeed within your workplace.
Even if you aren’t using the latest version of Office, this isn’t a problem for Noble. Noble can train your team to work with the version of Office they use. Additionally, training options can be customized and classes bundled together to include different Office 365 apps, as needed.
Noble’s instructors are industry veterans who know how to select the most relevant use cases for training your employees. Noble employs a team of expert instructors, which ensures the instruction provided is specific to your industry and applicable to your workplace. The curriculum is current and reflects the most up-to-date Office knowledge and best practices.

Those who attend corporate training can return to work the next day, ready to use the skills they’ve learned.
While self-learning can help learners acquire Excel or PowerPoint basics, it’s not an effective way for most individuals to truly master these applications for professional use. The immersive corporate training Noble provides is a great way to ensure that team members will be able to remember and apply the specific training they receive in PowerPoint or Excel. When your employees train with Noble Desktop, you’re not just buying them a class to complete; you’re investing in a skill set that will make them more effective and productive at the workplace and benefit your entire organization.

Noble Desktop understands that no two learners are the same. This is why the corporate training options it provides can be catered to learners at all proficiency levels with Office, from beginner to advanced. Specialized courses like Excel VBA and Macros Level 1 or PowerPoint Presentation Design provide those with intermediate or advanced-level Office training the opportunity to take their skills further than would be possible through beginner-level training. For those who are new to these apps, Noble also offers introductory-level study options, including Excel Level I and PowerPoint Level I, which are great learning options for employees who are new to using either of these core applications. No matter whether those on your team have years of experience with these apps or if they’re novices, you can ask Noble to provide assessments to determine which participation level is appropriate for those at your workplace.
Noble’s training options in Office are customizable based on your industry of employment, team members’ proficiency level with various apps, and the department's workflow.

The content your team will study in an Office corporate training class largely depends on your employees’ needs and the industry in which the skills will be applied. Training options are available in PowerPoint and Excel for learners at all levels.
Those who are new to Excel, for example, and want to use this industry-standard spreadsheet application to track data and manage records may prefer to enroll in Excel Level 1: Fundamentals. This introductory-level class teaches Excel basics, including how to write basic functions, format charts, and graphs, manually enter data into spreadsheets, and create multiple sheets in a single file. More advanced training is also available in Excel Level 2: Intermediate. This skills class covers core topics like how to use custom formulas, create elaborate data visualizations, and use VLOOKUP. Excel Level 3: Advanced is a good option for those hoping to master Excel’s more complex uses, such as writing advanced data analysis formulas or nested IF statements, or recording macros to automate recurring tasks.
If your employees would benefit from studying PowerPoint instead of learning Excel, Noble has several classes available in this popular Office application. Those who are just getting started with PowerPoint can receive introductory-level instruction in Noble Desktop’s PowerPoint Level 1. Coursework includes training on how to add images, shapes, text, and transitions into basic PowerPoint presentations. Employees who have prior experience with PowerPoint may benefit more from taking PowerPoint Level 2. This hands-on class offers advanced training in creating reusable templates and themes and working with Slide Master to create whole presentations. Students also explore how to customize charts and tables and work with animations.
Each of these Excel or PowerPoint training options can be completed as a stand-alone class or bundled together to provide teammates with the most comprehensive type of training available. Noble focuses on your employees’ needs and prior knowledge of Excel when developing training options, ensuring that they will leave their corporate training with the skills to succeed in the workplace.
Those seeking more specialized Office training can find this at Noble Desktop. Team members interested in specialized Excel study can take Visual Basic for Applications, which teaches them how to use this programming language in Excel, as well as how to avoid needing to learn other programming languages or applications. Although this class requires prerequisite Excel knowledge, this training option can be bundled with introductory-level Excel training. Similarly, those looking to specialize their PowerPoint skills can enroll in PowerPoint Presentation Design. This class focuses on the essential skills needed to help presentations stand out, such as consistency, animation, spacing, and layout. This specialized course can be bundled with other Noble classes to ensure your employees receive comprehensive PowerPoint training.
Before you pursue corporate Office training for your team, you may want to ensure this type of study will help them at the workplace. Because of how widely used Office tools like Excel and PowerPoint are for many office-related tasks, including data management and presentations, knowledge of these versatile tools is likely to benefit teams of all types and help them be more efficient and productive employees. Office training isn’t a skill set that occurs in a vacuum; instead, it is a great supplementary type of training for teams who work in a range of other fields, from healthcare to marketing. Because Office training usually accompanies other skills, Noble can also offer training options in fields closely related to Excel and PowerPoint.
For example, if your team members work in data-related fields, their Office training can be supplemented with Data Science or Data Analytics study options that focus on how Excel is used as a database tool. These training options provide instruction on how to leverage data and use it in their regular workflow, as well as how to read and understand data from qualitative and quantitative perspectives. Or, if your team works with finance, enrolling them in one of Noble’s FinTech seminars may be a better option. These classes cover how to use Excel and data skills for financial and investing-related tasks. Additionally, Office training can be supplemented with instruction in Project Management for those hoping to put their skills to use overseeing either small or large projects.
Microsoft Office is usually used alongside other work tools and skills, most of which depend on the industry focus and the specific job title. While knowledge of PowerPoint or Excel can be a great addition to nearly any workplace environment, these skills usually supplement other forms of more specialized training, such as in data science, data analytics, finance, or business. Employers who are interested in providing a more robust type of training in which Office is only one component can explore other Noble class offerings.
One option some employers may consider is offering training in data analytics or data science for those at their workplace. This would be particularly useful for those hoping to work with Excel to query, organize, and visualize data for projects. These class options are a great way for employees to learn how to get started using data in their everyday workflow. On the other hand, if you work at a financial institution, training options in FinTech or financial modeling may be more helpful.
If you’re interested in providing your employees or team members with the instruction necessary to train them in basic Excel or PowerPoint techniques or to upskill them, Noble’s range of study options can each be customized to fit their unique needs. To learn more about the various corporate training options Noble can provide in Office or to schedule a free consultation to create the perfect study program for those on your team, don’t hesitate to contact Noble today to find out more.
