Learning with Collab365.
In our members’ words.
Sound familiar?
You know your job.
But the tools keep changing.
You want to feel confident using the tools your job depends on. Between the day-to-day work and the next new feature, finding time to learn gets pushed back.
You’ve tried ChatGPT. You’re unsure what’s next.
A summary, an image, a quick answer. Useful, but you’re still working out how it fits into the rest of your job.
It’s hard to know which skills matter.
AI, automation, new features in familiar tools. You want to spend your time learning something you’ll actually use.
The tutorial you saved is still unwatched.
Work gets busy. Another week goes by. You’re still doing things the way you know, wondering what you’re missing.
From our Futureproof analysis
Build AI skills before you need them under pressure.
If AI takes on more routine tasks, the skills you need at work change too. Learn how to use it, check its output and decide when your judgement is needed.
That takes practice. Start now, while you can learn one task at a time.

Read our refund termsDo I buy each course separately?
The courses featured here are included in their subject Spaces. Buying a Space gives you its included courses and resources together. All-Access covers the included Spaces; a Board Learning Pass covers the project and supporting Spaces listed in that offer.
Do I need to know how to use AI already?
There are courses for different starting points. Some introduce a subject; others build on existing skills. Check the course level, outline and required tools before you start. You can learn subjects such as Power BI or SharePoint without beginning with AI.
Are the courses video or written?
The catalogue includes video lessons, written lessons and a mixture of both. Some courses follow a practical build challenge. Each featured course shows its format, and you can open its outline to see the lessons and materials.
Do I need to buy any software?
Some courses need a particular tool or licence, such as Microsoft 365, Power Apps or an AI account. Check the prerequisites on the course outline before choosing your access. Any paid software or AI subscriptions are separate from your Collab365 access.
Inside your Space
What is a Space?
A Space is your learning area for a subject, such as AI at work or Power Apps. It brings together courses, practical resources and Pulse updates about what’s changing, with discussions and comments to help you learn with other members. You can start with one course and explore more of the subject as your skills grow.
What is a Learning Board?
A Learning Board is a step-by-step path towards a particular result. It puts relevant courses, Blueprints and other resources in a suggested order, so you can follow a project and track your progress. The Inbox Board above is one example.
What is a Blueprint?
A Blueprint is a researched set of instructions you can use with your own AI to tackle a task or project. It sets out the steps, information needed, decisions and checks. You adapt it to your situation and review the work as you go. You can take courses without using a Blueprint.
What is Pulse?
Each Space has a Pulse feed with short updates about changes in that subject. They explain what has changed, why it matters for your work and what to consider next.
Want updates by email too? Our free Pulse newsletter brings a selection to your inbox.
Explore the free Pulse newsletterWhat is the Vault, and which Spaces include it?
The Vault is an archive of earlier Collab365 Academy videos, workshops, conference recordings and saved resources. It is included in our Microsoft 365 and Power Platform Spaces, alongside their newer courses and resources. The collection depends on the Space; its join page shows what is included.
Is there a community where I can ask questions?
Yes. The discussion forum is a place to ask questions, share what you’re working on and compare approaches with other members. You can also comment on courses, lessons, Blueprints and other resources, keeping the conversation alongside what you’re learning.
During your free trial, you can read discussions in your chosen Spaces. To post or comment in a paid Space, you’ll need paid access to that Space.
