Get to grips with time management - with Microsoft Outlook!
Reading emails, writing emails, making notes, arranging appointments, ticking off tasks ... These tiny, bureaucratic monsters almost imperceptibly take up half to whole hours a day. However, your trainer remains unimpressed by these time wasters and tames them with all the functions Outlook has to offer.

Let René Fürst train you to become an office hero, keep an overview of your private life, organize your professional life even more efficiently and speed up all your company communication to smoothness! Outlook supports you with ease in all office-related matters as well as time management and is one of the most popular tools for professional desk management for good reason!

From the basics to practical tips

In three hours with 27 lessons and under the guidance of IT professional René Fürst, you will get to know the program from scratch: emails, of course, but also calendar, address book, notes ... You can then easily bring together everything that is currently scattered here, there and everywhere on your virtual desktop and your paper notes in a single Outlook overview.

The course covers everything from the basics to detailed expert know-how. It is aimed at beginners who have never worked with Outlook before as well as users who want to get to know the program in all its individual units.

Systematic management of emails, appointments and to-dos

Email management is an important part of the course. Your trainer will not only show you tips and tricks for the daily handling of your inbox, but will also provide you with expert information about useful but rarely used functions that are somewhat hidden. Among them: Retrieve emails once sent, automatically translate your texts into other languages and create rules for sending and receiving your electronic mail.

A second, detailed section deals with the software's calendar functions , which, when used correctly, allow you to do more than simply set appointments: For example, automatically drag the public holidays that apply to your country into the calendar, use conditional formatting for recurring appointments such as group meetings or use the instant search to find what you want to know straight away.

You will also learn how to manage your to-dos with Outlook, how to add, edit and use contacts and which settings and options will make your everyday life easier.

What will this Outlook course teach you?

You will get to know both the basic functions and the advanced features of Outlook, with which you can bring the organization of emails, appointments, contacts and tasks together under one roof and thus optimize your daily work.
