Master Google Workspace - Productivity & Collaboration Training

Google Workspace, previously known as Google Apps, is the Google equivalent of, and competitor to Microsoft Office 365. It is a suite of enterprise applications and storage used by businesses. Unlike many traditional applications, Google Workspace is not installed on the desktop, instead of this, the applications are accessible through your web browser.

Key applications of Google Workspace:

• Gmail
• Calendar
• Docs – Word Processing
• Sheets – Spreadsheets
• Slides – Presentations
• Drive – Storage

These are just some of the applications available in the Google Workspace, but there are several more, and they are constantly evolving. In fact, that’s one of the advantages of Workspace, you always have the latest version.

Have you ever wondered why the Dummies books are so popular? Well, it’s probably because so many of us are self-taught, using Google to find out how to use a function, or we are shown how to use software by someone at work.

Although this can be useful, it also means we tend to spend a lot of time with trial and error, or we are just picking up somebody else’s bad habits. Trial and error, unfortunately, involves a lot of error, and the bad habits you pick up will probably be passed on to the next person, so soon they spread across the business, meaning entire teams can end up working inefficiently.

At this point, you might head to the bookstore or do an online search to find a Google Workspace book to help solve some of those tricky issues. That’s a step in the right direction, and we sometimes use reference manuals ourselves. The problem is that trying to learn by trial and error may cost you many times the cost of a good training course.

Our Google Workspace courses are designed to target the key features and tools included in the various applications to help you get back to work and apply them right away.

At Keystroke Learning we pride ourselves in helping people to get the most out of Google Workspace. We place emphasis on working smarter, not harder. Participants often tell us that they are saving lots of time by using the tips and shortcuts they learn during our courses.

Typically, one of our experienced trainers will walk you through the features and functions of the software, then you will try them out on your own, with tips and guidance on getting the best out of the features. We also encourage participants to ask lots of questions to help you get the most out of your learning experience.

You’ll receive a manual to take away at the end of the course, as well as exercise files so you can practice later, or just to jog your memory when you need it.

Yes, you can. Use your local Google Drive folder to store files that weren’t created using the Google Docs applications (such as PDFs, Word documents, spreadsheets etc.) and you can enable offline access to your Google Docs editors if you use Chrome as your browser.

You can also enable it on your mobile device, which is very useful because that way you can remotely edit your files through the Docs, Sheets and Slides apps. This can be a huge advantage for people who travel a lot and need to get work done on the move.

When you store your files in a central document repository like Google Drive, a lot of useful things become possible.

First of all, you immediately take away the issue of having multiple file versions being stored in different desktop silos all over your organisation. Instead, you get a single storage location for all your latest files, which are constantly being updated and accessible to everyone who needs them.

But perhaps even more importantly, cloud storage means your staff can access their files wherever they have an internet connection, no matter where they are or what device they’re using. This makes it very simple to implement a reliable, mobile work experience.
