Microsoft Word 2016 Learn to Become a Master (Udemy.com)

An easy way to learn Office Automation Tool

Created by: Mehmood Shaikh

Last updated August 2018

Our take

Based on the ratings of 2,572 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in August 2018. No course pays to be reviewed.

A free, two-and-a-bit hour walk through the File tab and Home tab of Word 2016, and nothing else. The syllabus shows 22 lectures in four sections: a window tour, the File tab, the Quick Access Toolbar, and 63 minutes on the Home tab. That is the whole thing. It suits someone who has never opened Word, or who wants a refresher on fonts, paragraphs, styles and saving. The listing promises mail merge, charts, macros and Excel integration, but none of that is in the lecture list. Set expectations there and the course is fine.

Reviewers who came in as beginners are happy. They call it simple, quick and easy to follow, and several say they picked up small tricks and hidden features they had not known about. Mehmood Shaikh gets credit for explaining each command clearly. The three-star and lower reviews, about a quarter of 2,572, nearly all say the same thing: it stops after the Home tab, so the "become a master" claim is false. Some also mention blurred video in places, audio that is hard to make out, and an accent that takes a little adjusting to.

It hasn't been updated since August 2018, though Word's basic ribbon hasn't moved much, so that matters less than it would for an Excel course. It's free, and it sits alongside Excel and Copilot courses on our Office Productivity list, so it is the cheapest way to check whether video learning suits you before spending money. Take it for the basics, then look elsewhere for the Insert, Layout and References tabs.

Best forAbsolute beginners who want a free walk through saving, fonts, paragraphs and basic formatting before anything else.
Skip it ifYou need mail merge, charts, macros or any tab past Home, none of which is actually in the lectures.

Pros

  • Free, and short enough to finish in an afternoon: 22 lectures, about 140 minutes.
  • Reviewers say the commands are explained clearly and are easy to follow for first-timers.
  • Beginners report picking up small formatting tricks and hidden features they did not know about.
  • Rated 4.4 by over 2,500 students, with most reviews at four or five stars.

Cons

  • Only the File and Home tabs are covered, despite a listing that promises mail merge, charts and macros.
  • Not updated since August 2018, and some reviewers report blurred visuals and unclear audio.
  • No quizzes, exercises or articles, so nothing to practice on.
Good basic information, from the beginning, easy to understand. I would have liked the course to have continued and gone through all the Microsoft Word tabs

Listed as All Levels, but the reviews and syllabus say it is for absolute beginners only; regular Word users will learn little.

The lectures were good covering the entire group and command of a tab. which sir has taught. I was hoping to get an short overview of every tab at least, but it's free so it's fine. Thankyou so much sir for making this nice and precise course of MS word for Beginner.

By Sandra Hawley on 11/21/2022

I loved this course. I am very much a visual person and it helps to have someone showing me how to do it. I took a self learning module through work and it was horrible. Definitely learned more about Microsoft Word with this course.

By Roberta K. Simon on 1/16/2021

This is a good match. I have learned many things I did not know. I have a little bit of trouble with the accent. Overall an outstanding course. Everything was well explained, and easy to follow. I would recommend this course to anyone who can use these skills.!

By Nida Rajpoot on 1/5/2021

By Zenajda Zaimi on 6/22/2020

It is a very good course for beginners, where you can learn from the start and master you word skills. On the other side, even for people using word in everyday you can still learn some new features. Recommended.

By Sulayman M. Chatharoo on 5/23/2020

It was a great course, I enjoyed learning about Word. The only problem was that every few seconds during the video, it starts loading for a few seconds. I am not sure if it's a problem with my internet, or if it is just like that. Otherwise, it was awesome, quick and easy to understand. Thanks a lot! : - )

By Cathy van Zyl on 3/27/2020

Wow, I have learnt so much. I have a husband and two sons in the IT and all three could not explain it like you. You are excellent. Let me know about your other courses please

By Brian Symons on 8/25/2019

Although I have used MS Word for many years in various versions, I have learnt features that I did not know exist & some of those could save me a lot of time such as making a Custom Menu of some Commands that I use regularly & knowing about the Spelling & Grammar Indicator at the bottom left hand of the page that tells you if you have any errors in your document without doing a check - it also gives you a word count.

By Rakesh kumar sah on 7/15/2019

its really awesome video. i think if someone has zero knowledge about ms- word . They can easily learn and become hero in ms word with the help of this tutorials.

By Simon Drobnic on 4/20/2019

The course goes over the basic icon commands on the File and Home part of the ribbon. The instructor clearly explaines and demonstrates how it works so anyone staring would do good to attend the course.
