Video courses for your company:
Outlook, SharePoint & Office 365 under control with Holger Wöltje!
Ready to start immediately
No need for scheduling workshop dates: while some of your team are on holiday or one department is busy with a trade show, others can get started immediately.
The optimal basis
More affordable per person than in-person seminars: Video course access for all employees, with options for seminars and workshops for specific groups when needed.
No travelling involved
No Travel Costs/Travel Time:
Learn from home and across locations at multiple offices + when you're on the go.
Easier & more flexible than seminars
One colleague likes to study for 45 minutes in the morning, while her supervisor prefers to study for 1.5 hours twice a week in the evening (with a short break in the middle). With video courses, everyone can organise their time in the best possible way - and those who prefer to learn together can work on the same content in groups in the same week and discuss it with the others.
Individual learning pace
One employee skips the content she is already familiar with, while her colleague is new to some of these topics, so he even repeats them - and skips another lesson that he doesn't need for his area.
Start flexibly with video courses and add individual online workshops/seminars in small groups for in-depth questions as needed. In a workshop with Holger Wöltje, you have the same instructor for this deepening as in the video course and start with the same example individuals and demo data. Everything flows seamlessly together for working on specific examples from your daily office tasks and developing individual solutions for your needs, building on the proven concepts taught in the video courses.
Here you don't get just any course, but a programme developed over years of work.
optimally harmonised course package:
The best tips & most important questions from over 20 years of seminar experience summarised for you in engaging, easy-to-understand, immediately applicable video lessons.
Customisable to your needs: A concise introductory course for each topic that covers the essentials, plus several in-depth courses, clearly organised, with interactive quizzes.
Filmed in English with an English user interface, with typical examples for international companies operating in Australia, Europe and Asia.
In addition, all courses from your instructor are also available filmed in German, featuring typical examples from Austrian, German and Swiss companies.
For your existing Learning Management System (LMS) or alternatively via a ready to use online platform, to start immediately with a PC, laptop, tablet, or smartphone.
Holger Wöltje's Office video course was awarded the Comenius Edu-Media Seal for pedagogically and in terms of content outstandinge digital educational media excellent,
2021–2024 and again in 2025.
In addition to Outlook, OneNote and SharePoint, a course package covering the core applications of Office 365 is now available due to popular demand. This package teaches your employees the most important basics and best tips & tricks for typical office use of PowerPoint, Word, and Excel, as well as modern document collaboration with the Office applications.

Online training for your company:
Online seminars on OneNote, Outlook, Teams & SharePoint
with your questions and your individual examples
- No travelling, no travel expenses: learn across locations, from home or from your office.
- This makes it easier to organise the time, e.g. two half days with one day in between, so that your employees can remain available for a few hours on the seminar days (to work on other tasks/projects during the other half of the day).
- Better for Learning & Implementation: Two half-days mean higher focus and better retention than one long session. A gap of one to five days in between allows time to try things out, let them sink in, and think further.
- Some other topics are much easier to teach in face-to-face seminars - but digital working with Outlook, OneNote Teams & SharePoint is ideal for online training.
- Interactivity even higher than in the face-to-face seminar: You can not only go through your individual questions and examples directly with your instructor Holger Wöltje, but also simply share your screen if you have any questions.
Since the massive use of online seminars since 2020, you have certainly already experienced that there are clear differences in the implementation (the sound as if flushed through the toilet, strangers walking past in the background, illegible screen transmissions) and that the wheat is quickly separated from the chaff here: Online speakers must firstly master the special methodological & didactic requirements of the medium and secondly need solid technical equipment that goes beyond that for normal online meetings. Online workshops with Holger Wöltje provide you with the highest quality:
- Hundreds of online workshops for over 18 years (from one-day seminars for ten people to keynote speeches for hundreds of participants) carried out with Adobe Acrobat Connect, Citrix GoToMeeting, Cisco WebEx, Microsoft LiveMeeting, Lync, Skype for Business and Teams (currently implemented with Teams and WebEx).
- Holger Wöltje knows Microsoft Teams inside and out, has produced several video courses on Teams and Teams Live Events in two languages and regularly trains speakers in Microsoft Teams.
- Online seminars for you he leads from his video studio with several cameras, Video lighting, professional audio equipment, redundant internet connection and absolutely quiet surroundings.
- After the seminar, all participants will receive Video courses for repetition and revision of the topics
In-house seminars - in-house presence training:
Discover the full potential of Outlook, OneNote, Teams and SharePoint!
- You prefer Seminars with Holger: on site, in the same room, where see each other in person?
- Also Half-day workshops possible - with the Experience from hundreds of workshops Holger Wöltje already imparts a lot of practical knowledge during this time
- For a Team with a maximum of 12 people for intensive work as One-day seminar…
