FAQs

If you are a Mac user, please let us know when booking. If the course is held in the classroom at Happy, the training is held on PCs so we recommend that you bring your Macbook with you (we are not able to provide an additional monitor).

For online training, please let us know when booking and you can use your Mac as normal. 

We provide a PDF with shortcuts for Mac users and your trainer will refer to this throughout the training.

Our public course is designed for Windows users only due to the large differences between the Apple and Microsoft versions of Outlook. We can hold this as a private group session for Mac users — please get in touch for pricing and availability.

Our learning sessions are thoughtfully designed to be inclusive of all learners by accommodating a variety of learning styles and preferences. We recognise that individuals process and engage with information differently, so each session includes a range of practical exercises that allow participants to interact with the material in ways that best suit them. Whether through hands-on activities, visual aids, group discussions, or individual reflection, we strive to create a supportive and flexible learning environment where everyone can thrive. Learn more about ways that we can support your learning here.
