About Microsoft Viva training

Sessions are tailored to the specific Viva modules your organisation has deployed. Onsite anywhere in Australia or live online.

Microsoft Viva TrainingMicrosoft Viva training – customised for your team

Microsoft Teams is the most used and most undertrained tool in the Microsoft 365 suite. Most people know how to join a meeting. Far fewer know how to use channels effectively, share and co-author files without version control problems, manage notifications without being overwhelmed or run meetings that people actually want to attend.

CTO’s Teams training is built around how your team actually uses Teams not a generic product walkthrough. Introduction sessions build the foundation for new or inconsistent Teams users. Advanced sessions focus on efficiency, best-practice channel structure, meeting facilitation and integrations with the rest of the Microsoft 365 environment.

Who should attend

  • Teams new to Microsoft Teams or switching from another communication platform
  • Organisations where Teams use is inconsistent and people have developed their own habits
  • Managers who want to run more effective meetings and use channels properly
  • Advanced users wanting to optimise Teams, set up channels properly and work with integrations

  • How CTO delivers this training

    Before the session

    CTO works with HR, IT or the internal communications team to understand which Viva modules are deployed and the specific adoption or usage goals. Training content is built around your actual Viva configuration.

    During the session

    Participants access Viva within their own Teams environment during the session. All exercises are based on your organisation’s actual Viva deployment rather than a generic demonstration environment.

    After the session

    Participants receive a Viva user guide covering the modules from the session. Microsoft Teams training is available for teams who need to build a stronger Teams foundation before using Viva effectively.
