Course Description

The Microsoft OneNote Essentials course is a one-day program that aims to equip students with the necessary skills to use OneNote effectively. With practical and hands-on training, participants will learn how to research, capture, organise, and share information step-by-step. Starting from creating simple notebooks to working with linked notes, note containers, outlines, tables, drawing tools, custom templates, tags, and more.
