Introduction
Getting Started with Google Workspace has nine courses. The instructor-led (ILT) courses are aimed at anyone that wants to learn more about how Google Workspace can make them more productive and efficient in their role. Designed to be delivered in person, or virtually (vILT), each course focuses on a core Google Workspace service. Each course can be delivered in approximately half a day with the flexibility to combine courses to create a suitable training schedule.
Courses can be completed in any order, but we recommend the following sequence:
- Gmail
- Google Calendar
- Google Drive
- Google Docs
- Google Sheets (Basic)
- Google Slides
- Google Meet
- Google Chat
- Google Sheets (Advanced Topics)
Instructor-Led Training Resources
The courses are intended for end users from customers who are new to the world of Google Workspace. By the end of the course, the student will be proficient in the use of the core applications: Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, Chat and Meet. They will learn how to manage mail and schedules effectively; create, manage and share content in Google Drive, and become more productive through the use of the collaboration features that are an integral and defining part of Google Workspace.
