Integrated management systems with Microsoft 365

An integrated management system (IMS) combines methods and tools from different areas to optimize the use of synergies in companies. The course introduces the relevant knowledge for such integration. The Microsoft 365 apps will also be introduced. They ensure a smooth workflow: you can access your applications in the cloud from any device, anywhere. This can improve communication, collaboration and productivity within the company. You will also learn how artificial intelligence (AI) is used in the workplace.

Changes are possible. The course content is updated regularly.

Knowledge of quality-related activities is recommended for the course and knowledge of Office applications is required.

After completing the course, you will have an in-depth understanding of the most important ISO standards and their integration. You will know the basics of management systems, have mastered the process-oriented approach and understand the challenges of implementation. You will be able to plan, structure and implement an IMS, effectively integrating different standards. You also have skills in auditing, certification and documentation of IMS. With this knowledge, you will be able to successfully introduce, audit and continuously improve complex management systems in organizations.

You will also learn how to use Microsoft 365 and the associated apps. You will understand the connections and possibilities of working in the cloud, including data storage, security and data protection. You can decide which tasks you can do online and for which functions the familiar installed Office applications are better suited.

Office users who do not want to lose touch with the latest technologies and Microsoft 365 administrators who are responsible for managing the software and want to get an overview of the range of functions.

Numerous requirements and standards determine the everyday life of companies and make it difficult to reduce the internal administrative workload in order to achieve an increase in productivity and greater process efficiency. By creating an integrated management system (IMS), a standardized system can be used for different areas, thus reducing the complexity of processes and the internal administrative burden. Employees with the relevant expertise to set up such an IMS are in demand on the job market across all sectors in large and medium-sized companies.

Additional up-to-date Office skills and know-how with cloud applications enable you to work efficiently in your professional life and are in demand at companies in all industries.

Your meaningful certificate provides a detailed insight into the qualifications you have acquired and improves your career prospects.

Didactic concept

Your lecturers are highly qualified both professionally and didactically and will teach you from the first to the last day (no self-study system).

You will learn in effective small groups. The courses usually consist of 6 to 25 participants. The general lessons are supplemented by numerous practical exercises in all course modules. The practice phase is an important part of the course, as it is during this time that you process what you have just learned and gain confidence and routine in its application. The final section of the course involves a project, a case study or a final exam.

Lessons take place using modern alfaview® video technology - either from the comfort of your own home or at our premises at Bildungszentrum. The entire course can see each other face-to-face via alfaview®, communicate with each other in lip-sync voice quality and work on joint projects. Of course, you can also see and talk to your connected trainers live at any time and you will be taught by your lecturers in real time for the entire duration of the course. The lessons are not e-learning, but real live face-to-face lessons via video technology.
