Why Word?

Where reports, proposals
and audit deliverables actually live.

Word is the document the team finally sends. Proposals, audit reports, board memos and regulatory submissions all start and end here. This subject takes a complete beginner from typing and formatting through to references, mail merge and macros, with documents that look intentional from the first page.

See the learning outcomes

Beginner to advanced in seven courses

Open Word for the first time in week one. Build proposals with references, indexes and mail merge by the end. Skip ahead, jump in mid‑subject, or run it all top to bottom.

References and indexes, in detail

Tables of contents, academic and photographic references, captions for figures and indexes for keywords. The features finance and consulting documents actually need at length.

Reviewing and collaboration that scales

Proofing, tracked changes and shared review. The collaboration tooling that prevents version chaos when six reviewers all need to comment on the same document.

Credentials that stand up

Every milestone is independently accredited by CPD, CPE and NASBA, so what learners earn here counts towards continuing professional development.

Learning Outcomes

What learners will be able to do
by the end of the program.

Every outcome is mapped to a specific lesson and assessed through scenario‑based exercises. Learners walk away with practical Word skills they can apply on the next report, proposal or client deliverable.

Type and format text fluently

Best practice for typing, navigating, formatting, spacing and styles. The everyday handling skills that take an analyst from clumsy to fast in their first week.

Building Your Document

Use bullet points and tables

Break dense prose into bullets that read fast and structure data into tables that scan in seconds. The everyday formatting moves that make documents land.

Building Your Document

Design with shapes, pictures and themes

Build flowcharts with shapes, import and edit images, and set themes for the whole document. Polish that turns a draft into a deliverable.

Building Your Document

Adjust layout, margins and views

The different Word views, plus margins, page orientation and columns. The layout settings that make long documents readable and printable.

Perfecting Your Document

Add references, captions and indexes

Tables of contents, academic and photographic references, captions for figures and indexes for keywords. The structure long documents need at length.

Perfecting Your Document

Proof, review and collaborate

The essentials of proofing, collaboration and tracked changes. Multi‑reviewer documents that don't collapse into version chaos.

Perfecting Your Document

Use macros, mail merge and add‑ins

Automate repetitive formatting with macros, send personalised letters at scale with mail merge, and extend Word with the right add‑ins for the team.
