He's got a great tone and seems to be knowledgable. However the teaching is very wordy but not much teachhing per se. It's like a watch me navigate and listen to me tell you what I know. I

By Lisa Parker on 8/12/2026

Very helpful! I could already understand the navigation and formatting that is similar to Microsoft Word. But this course is very good at getting across the things that are particular to OneNote.

By Scott Treanor on 8/1/2026

Very easy to follow and covers everything I want to learn about with OneNote. I'm excited to take notes with onenote. Usually my notes are everywhere. I have kinda jumped ahead and created a couple of Notebooks of my own. Thanks Brian! I highly recommend this course.

By Enid Orta-Lisojo on 7/15/2026

Just started it but I like that fact that he's started with giving you a feel of what you'll find in the interface right off the bat so you'll know exactly what he's talking about as he dives into the course. Looking forward to learning all about this very useful application.

By Nathan C. Cantwell on 3/19/2026

Great class with content I have already started to put into use in my personal and expanding to my team to share notes on tasks.

By Tracy Thompson on 2/2/2026

I was hoping that the course would be current, up to date ( this is currently instructional for 2016 one note, we are in 2025) at with the program, but I am finding that the instructor is great at explaining/showing how each part of the program works with each other.

By Stacey R. Bell on 1/9/2026

I loved how this course was presented. Clear, concise, and I learned a lot of new tricks and techniques. Thank you.

By Mohammed Arsh Thanari on 1/6/2026

This course delivers what it promised, a quick overview on what you can expect from OneNote. It is for new users who are unfamiliar with the user interface used in Microsoft 365.

By Anurag Mishra on 12/26/2025

Precise, covers all necessary aspects, makes you feel like pro at the beginning itself. A must have course for all.

By Piyush Kumar Prasad on 12/21/2025

Deep knowledge of OneNote and very handy tips on using the same, something that you do not get to know. I would stop taking notes on my work diary. much handier. For instance I liked the idea of marking action items with a specific bullet and strikethrough when completed
