Our take

Based on the ratings of 32,671 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in August 2019. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a straight-through Word course split into three levels: beginner formatting and editing, intermediate tables and mail merge, and advanced work with forms, templates, track changes, and a table of contents. Kyle Pew, a Microsoft Certified Trainer with over 20 years of Office training behind him, walks through 105 short lectures across 7 hours. No prior Word knowledge is required, and the syllabus covers a lot of ground: page layout, styles, citations, footnotes, document protection, and a brief look at VBA syntax at the end.

Reviewers consistently praise Pew's pacing and clarity. Several say they had used Word for years without really knowing it and came away feeling like power users, able to build professional-looking documents instead of guessing their way through. Students also like that lessons come with practice, not just talk. The complaints are mild but real: a handful of videos have recording glitches, one reviewer wanted more depth on citations, captions, and indexing with real-world examples, and another wished for more advanced content once the basics were covered.

At 19,996 five-star ratings out of 32,671 reviews, the course holds a strong 4.7 average, and its Bestseller badge and 124,783 subscribers back that up. The content was last refreshed in August 2019, so a few interface details may lag current Microsoft 365 menus, though the fundamentals of formatting, tables, and mail merge have not changed much. For beginners to intermediate Word users who want one course that covers the whole toolset rather than a narrow slice, this is a solid, well-reviewed pick.

Best forOffice workers and students who want to go from muddling through Word to using it with confidence.
Skip it ifYou already build templates and forms in Word and want something beyond the basics.

Pros

  • Covers beginner through advanced Word in one course, including VBA basics
  • 105 short lectures make it easy to jump to one skill at a time
  • Reviewers say Pew explains things clearly and at a comfortable pace
  • Strong track record: 4.7 average across 32,671 reviews

Cons

  • Last updated in 2019, so some screens may not match current Word or Microsoft 365
  • A few reviewers report recording glitches in certain lectures
  • Advanced topics like citations and indexing get less real-world context than beginners might want

Listed as All Levels, but the syllabus and reviews show it suits true beginners best, with advanced sections as a bonus.

This instruction, as always, is giving the information in a very reliable way, which is helping the create the fundations of my knowledge of Microsoft Word. keep it up the good job.

By David Bosman on 9/13/2026

I have been using Microsoft Word for many years and knew enough to get by but always just muddled my way through certain aspects of it. I thought, why not learn how to use it properly and to its full potential, so I enrolled in this course. I'm so glad I did because at the end of it I felt like a proper power user! Kyle does a brilliant job of making it so easy to get to grips with this powerful software and use it to its true potential. I am now able to create really professional looking documents.

By Srikanth on 7/22/2026

After 10+ years of IT experience I still used to struggle with MS word, finally I realized its never to late to go back to fundamentals and learn it . your course is very interactive and each video is not to large and your teaching is very good. I am glad that I enrolled for this course. If by any chance you read my comment. Please make a another course on how to prepare Resumes from scartch in MS word . that will help lot of students. you are amazing.

By Payman Alemi on 5/14/2026

I like the slow, methodical, and modular structure of this course. The videos are the appropriate length--long enough to provide necessary context and details, but not so long that you start tuning out.

By Guillermo Garre on 4/25/2026

Great, but some videos had recording issues and I would love to see more advanced uses.

By Shiva Agrawal on 4/25/2026

Hello Sir, My self Shiva Agrawal, the course is amazing and includes everything a guy want. In starting maybe it is boring, but you can feel the in-depth of some buttons even at the starting of the course only. So amazing course, loved your teaching. However, I am facing some issue while sending the word as email directly either as word or converted as PDF, the error is "Word couldn't send mail because of MAPI failure: "Unsuspected error"." I am using Microsoft Office Home and Student 2021 version. Hoping it to resolve

By Ashton Cantopher on 4/24/2026

Fantastic course. I have learned so much so far and I've only just completed the 102 level. So, looking forward to so much more in the 103 section. I had bought Kyle's Word course only because I have been enjoying his Beginner to Advanced Excel course too. Have a few more in my wish list ;)

By Teresa Baker on 3/25/2026

As both a professional who regularly uses Microsoft Word and someone who values continuous learning, I highly recommend the “Master Microsoft Word Beginner to Advanced” course to anyone looking to enhance their Word skills. Instructor Kyle Pew made each lesson clear and easy to follow, accommodating learners of all backgrounds. The hands-on assignments provided practical experience that not only refreshed my memory of features I'd forgotten but also introduced me to new tools and techniques I had never encountered or used before. This course has positively impacted both my personal productivity and my professional workflow.

By Linda Murphy on 11/15/2020

I love how short the videos are. Working full time, keeping up with home, family and friends demanding time and attention, getting in a lesson inbetween is the best.

By Akshay S on 11/8/2020

Very good course. Better than i expected! thanks Kyle
