How it works
The information on this page relates to our online hybrid Outlook Productivity Advanced programme, which we customize for your business.
'Hybrid' means you get the Outlook Productivity content available 24/7 for 6 months but also get live online facilitator-led implementation workshops with a group of colleagues (10-15 per group).
Why live, facilitator-led workshops? It has been found that 85% to 95% of people who take an e-learning course without any support, fail to complete their course.
We want to prevent your business from losing up to 95% of its investment in a possible productivity improvement initiative.
Enjoy browsing this page. If you feel it makes sense to have a follow-up conversation, click "Express Your Interest" and send us some details.
We will be in touch with you to understand your situation better so we can work together to co-create a programme that will exactly meet your needs.
We will arrange a Boardroom Briefing with you and co-decisionmakers (if applicable) to enable you to know if working with us on a productivity improvement initiative is the right thing to do for your company.
The enrolment fee is R3 200 per person, excluding VAT. Depending on the scope of the initiative that will deliver the results you are looking for, we may negotiate the fee structure, including discounts for early payment.

What's in it for you?
Most people – maybe you too - use Outlook only for email and meeting management. They use their Inbox as a To-Do list. They spend hours every day in their Inbox reacting to other people’s priorities instead of their own. And they believe this is just how life at the office is. How wrong they are. It does not have to be like this. After doing this course...

Your Facilitators
As the voicemail message on his cell phone says:” If I can’t take your call I am either in a workshop or out cycling!”
Duncan’s industrial engineering background and his love of the “ooh” and “aahhh” moments when people learn a really cool trick in MS Outlook, are his inspiration and motivation in helping people use their technology in ways that make them more productive.
Was there life before the Internet, cell phones and gadgets? Duncan’s glad he missed it!
Gerrit is a hardworking lazy guy - working very hard all the time to find ways in which to get the right things done easier, faster and better. To achieve optimal productivity with minimal effort.
What brings him great joy is that the quality of life of every person who implements even a little bit of what they get iduring a course, will improve.

-
Can I not just search the Internet and get the content for free?
Of course you can. It will, however, take you a lot of time, effort, and some money, to synthesize it all into the course similar to the course you get at the Online School of Productivity. Our course does not just give you the information, but is structured so you get the transformation from your current situation to where you want to be: getting your right things done - with as little effort as possible. Also, the typical Internet solutions do not give you live support and interactive online workshops specific to this course.
-
Will this course work with my version of Outlook?
We created the videos using Outlook 365, and that's what you will see on the course. Due to frequent updates the user interface may be slightly different. Everything you learn works on all versions from Outlook 2010 and later.
-
How long does it take to complete the course?
The duration of a public or private in-house course is determined by the agreed schedule. Self-study takes as long as individuals want it to take. In all cases, the content remains available for 6 months.
-
Can I do this on a mobile device?
The Thinkific platform doesn't currently offer an app, but is mobile responsive so you will be able to take your course on any phone, tablet, or computer.
-
Can I apply this course in Outlook for Mac?
Unfortunately not.
-
Is a certificate awarded?
Yes, on completion of all modules students receive a certificate. For private in-house hybrid courses the certificate can be customised.
