Reviewer's verdict

This is a sales pitch disguised as a training path. It helps you decide which version of Office to buy, but it won't teach you how to use it.

2.5/5 Last verified: August 31, 2026

Best for

Users deciding between a one-time Office purchase and a Microsoft 365 subscription.

Watch for

Essentially a product marketing brochure, not a training course.

Who it's for

Users deciding between a one-time Office purchase and a Microsoft 365 subscription.

Who should skip it

Anyone looking for hands-on practice or technical skills.

Pros

  • Quick overview of the latest Office and Copilot features.
  • Clearly explains the difference between perpetual licenses and subscriptions.

Cons

  • Essentially a product marketing brochure, not a training course.
  • The 'accreditation' is just a knowledge check quiz.
  • No real interaction or exercises; just reading and watching videos.

It's an hour and a half of reading product pages. The path feels like a brochure designed to make you compare Office 2024 with a 365 subscription, sprinkled with some Copilot demos. Then the quiz asks you to repeat marketing points back. It might be useful for a purchasing manager, but it doesn't teach actual skills.
