Large Group Microsoft 365 Training Nashville

I’m Lisa Hendrickson and offer virtual training for small to medium sized businesses who want to offer M365 training for their end users in a group meeting. As an independent Microsoft 365 Consultant and Outlook Expert, I can create custom training sessions that work for your team and your budget. If you’re transitioning from other platforms such as Google Workspace to M365, then offering my unique training will help insure that everyone in the company knows how to use the new products the way you want it trained.

Training options

I’ll start with scheduling a consult and discuss your training goals and then a few different ways I can offer training.

  • The below outline is just one option and for a large group, most common. I cover all the basics and offer Q&A (can be scheduled later after people have time to use the product)
  • For smaller companies I can customize for each group or just train one group solo. This is usually for one or two of the Microsoft products
  • Businesses with less than 10 employees typically want a custom training of 1 hour per person
  • For one person companies, you have your own hour to yourself where I can help you configure all your services, transfer data and train. This may go over an hour.

General training:

1-hour open sessions offered to let the employees get training when they can schedule it. Great for staff who work remotely.

  • Monday: Outlook
  • Tuesday: OneDrive
  • Wednesday: SharePoint
  • Thursday: Teams
  • 1-hour open session Friday for question/answer

Large Group Microsoft 365 Training

If your company is looking for hands-on, instructor-led Microsoft 365 Training, I have many options for you. Below is all the information you’ll need to review and see if I’m a good fit for your training requirements, schedule and budget. I train from an end user standpoint and I train freestyle. I have an outline but usually I just go and answer questions during the training. I offer examples of why you might want to do something or need a feature, I consider my training very non cookie cutter but more personal. Ok, I throw in a few jokes, training can be boring, might as well make it more enjoyable.

Comparing my small business to larger online training companies has value, you also can work with me after the training for your consulting or helpdesk needs. Small companies appreciate this option and often don’t have an IT company, so it works out great for us both. I don’t offer contracts, most clients buy 3-hour support package to use in 15 min increments. This option can be considered supplemental support to your IT department as sometimes requests are outside their wheelhouse.

If you are migrating from Google Workspace, Network Solutions, etc to Microsoft 365, this is a great investment in your transition. Offering training allows your employees to learn about the 365 Experience in its entirety. You’re paying a premium price; your staff should know how to utilize it all.

More about my training

  • Larger online companies offer half or full day training, where I offer an accelerated power hour and with options for recording, your team can watch it later. All training sessions include a recording of the training for your team to review later.
  • I don’t charge per user but per session. You can have up to 500 attendees in a session. I charge a bit more for over 500.
  • You can chose to have a moderator from your team or you can use my mine for an extra charge. See below.
  • I have a commission plan for those that want to refer me to their clients, or I can offer a discount for MSP and other IT consultants who wish to bill their clients. See below for more information
  • For larger groups I will quote you for prep time as we will need it.
  • You can offer your own demo account using your 365 account, or I can offer my demo account.
