Congratulations for choosing to explore the self-study Outlook Productivity Essentials course as a vehicle for mastering Outlook as a business productivity tool.
This is a great option if you work best on your own.
You are self-disciplined, finish what you start and are good at managing your time.
You can enrol for your course right away. Just choose the payment option that works best for you, register your details and submit for payment.
To confirm, you get:
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...
… you will save up to 40 minutes every day. And stop wasting away one month every year.
… be in control of your Inbox. No more overwhelm.
… transform chaos into order. You are in charge.
… leave your desk with the day’s work done.
… get into your bed at night with a smile on your face because everything you wanted to do that day has been done. No more “I’ve been so busy today – but what I actually achieve?”
NOTE: We are refreshing and upgrading the current course, now known as CLASSIC Outlook Productivity. The content below is from the Classic course. The new course, Outlook Productivity 3.0, will be a solution-based course helping you to eliminate email overwhelm, clarify, prioritise, and organise your actions, and stay focused amidst the whirlwind of distractions and everyone and everything wanting your attention. This section will be updated with the new content by mid January. The new course will still have all the content of CLASSIC, just organised differently. When you enrol for CLASSIC Outlook Productivity now, you get FREE ACCESS to the new course.

I learned so many new things about a program I use every day. Don’t ever think you know everything about something; there’s always more to learn!
Claire Lees
I can already see the time this will save me – and also how it will help me to “keep up with” and not miss important items.
Deidre de Vos
My emails and planning of my tasks are going to be so much smoother and less stressed. Informative, mind changing, an absolute must!
Gerhard Germishuis

Yes, on completion of all modules you will receive a certificate of completion.
That's entirely up to you and how you wish to schedule the course. The total duration of the video content is about 2 hours.
The Thinkific platform doesn't currently offer an app, but is actually fully mobile responsive so you will be able to take your courses on the go from any phone, tablet, or computer.
The short answer is 'no'. We are looking into the possibility of creating a Mac version.
We created the course videos using Outlook 365, and that's what you will see on the course. Because this course is based on principles of productivity, you will be able to apply all of the tips, tricks and techniques apply to all versions from Outlook 2010 and later.
You get supported at various levels. You can communicate to instructors in every lesson, albeit it not in real time. You can email your instructors at any time. You will be invited to join an international group of "Outlook Productivity" alumni in a secret group on the Mighty Networks, owned and managed by the creators of this course, Productivity Pit Stop. This is NOT a Facebook group.
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 during a course, will improve.
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!
