Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microsoft Teams?
Microsoft Teams is the linchpin of Office 365. Teams is the application to use for online chat, calls, virtual meetings and collaboration. Create different Teams by department, group or project. Stay connected and support teamwork whether working in the office or remotely. It is the key application for successful remote working.
Will the content in this Teams course be relevant going forward?
Yes, our course writers and trainers have industry backgrounds. Our core principle is to deliver training that our students can not only use in the workplace but will actually drive increased efficiency and productivity gains.
What is Remote Training?
Remote training at Nexacu means our experienced trainers will deliver your training virtually. Students can access our usual classroom training courses via video conferencing, ask questions, participate in discussions, and share their screen with the trainer if they need help at any point in the course. Students have the same level of participation and access to the trainer as they would in classroom training sessions. Microsoft training from home has never been easier.
Which courses are available if I am working from home?
All of our Courses are available to be delivered remotely. Book any course as 'remote east' or 'remote west' depending on your location and you will receive login details and instructions the evening before your course.
I previously attended a course with Excel Consulting, will the training be similar?
Yes, we rebranded from Excel Consulting in October 2019. The business quickly outgrew its original name. Our new brand Nexacu better reflects our direction, continued innovation and commitment to delivering next-level learning. We have always refined and updated our courses but retain our excellent trainers and deliver the same high-quality content.
