Microsoft 365 is a suite of programs and apps that you can use online or download to your PC or mobile device. It gives you all of the tools that you need to complete your course including:
Use Microsoft 365 to access your work from anywhere and any device.
Go to the Microsoft 365 website at http://www.office.com
You'll be visiting often so if you choose not to download the apps to your device we recommend that you add it to your browser favourites or bookmarks or save it to your home screen/desktop. (Methods will vary depending on your browser and device settings.)
You can also find a link to Microsoft 365 on Moodle.
The Microsoft Teams app is the main way that you will access your course and stay in touch with the college when working off campus. We have created a separate guide to using MS Teams.
To log on to Microsoft 365 you will use your college e-mail address as your username, e.g. 123456@nptcgroup.ac.uk and your usual college password.
Once logged on you will be taken to the Microsoft 365 homepage. You will find links to all the apps included in the Microsoft 365 package by clicking on the app launcher icon in the top left corner.
You can choose to use Microsoft 65 online but downloading the apps to your device will unlock more functionality than you get in the online version.
Downloading to a Windows PC or laptop: log on to Microsoft 365 and then click on the 'Install and more' button on the right hand side of the homepage.
Downloading to mobile devices:
You can download Microsoft 365 in the Apple store or Google Play, or you can download separate apps for each of the Microsoft 365 tools to iOS or Android devices. Search for the individual apps by name, e.g. Outlook, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Word, etc. All of the apps are free to download. Once installed, log on once with your college e-mail address and password.
