4 things to look for when selecting Microsoft Office Training Videos

Article by Kirt Kershaw

When looking for Microsoft Office Training Videos/Tutorials you simply need to identify 4 key factors before purchasing.

1. Are the trainings completed by a Certified Microsoft Trainer?2. Are the trainings completed by a Certified Microsoft Application Specialist?3. Purchase Microsoft Office Training Videos that are a 1x fee not monthly subscriptions4. The trainings videos offer “free” samples so you can view them before purchasing

Once a Trainer has certified with Microsoft they will need to re-certify each year which includes meeting technical competency, and high customer satisfaction evaluations on trainings conducted throughout the year. Being a Certified Microsoft Trainer also ensures that you are getting trained by someone who can demonstrate instructional presentation skills. Look for the Microsoft Certified Trainer Logo prior to buying.

Microsoft Application Specialists are hard to come by but getting trained by a Specialist just makes sense. They are knowledgeable, informed, skilled and trained to cross-train other people in the skills of Microsoft. It also means they thoroughly comprehend and can pass extensive testing on:

Microsoft Office WordMicrosoft Office ExcelMicrosoft Office OutlookMicrosoft Office PowerPointMicrosoft Office AccessMicrosoft Office Project

Look for the Microsoft Certified Application Specialist Logo prior to buying.

The third Key Point when looking for Microsoft Office Training Videos is that you own the training videos from the time you buy it. Some products on the internet charge a monthly subscription fee. People are now racing against the clock to learn as much as the can before they get charged again. The second issue is that clients forget to terminate the services or have difficult times getting the company to actually stop charging their credit card for the monthly fees. Eliminate the burden by finding training videos that you only pay one time, get to keep and can study at your own pace.

Try before you buy. This is extremely important. It gives you insight into the trainer and offers valuable information about what you can expect once you purchase the Microsoft Office Training Videos. Look for Samples offered on websites or request a sample prior to purchasing.
