    Frequently Asked Questions about Microsoft

    Start by identifying the Microsoft product or skill you want to build—Excel for data, Power BI for analytics, Word and PowerPoint for communication, or Azure for cloud computing.

    • For data analysis and dashboards, try the Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst Professional Certificate.
    • Want to build everyday productivity skills? Explore the Master Microsoft Office 365 and Power Platform Specialization.
    • Interested in cloud technologies? Consider Introduction to Microsoft Azure Cloud Services for a beginner-friendly cloud overview.‎

    These beginner-friendly courses offer step-by-step guidance using Microsoft tools for work or personal use:

    • Work Smarter with Microsoft Excel – Learn essential Excel formulas, formatting, and data entry.
    • Microsoft Power BI for Beginners – Guided Project to help you create interactive dashboards.
    • Microsoft PowerPoint for Beginners – Build confidence in document creation and visual communication.‎
    • A course teaches one tool or task—such as creating spreadsheets, visualizing data, or managing cloud infrastructure, such as Data Visualization.
    • A Specialization combines multiple courses for structured learning—like Microsoft 365 Fundamentals Specialization, which covers Excel, Word, Outlook, and PowerPoint.
    • A Professional Certificate prepares you for a job role with end-to-end, career-aligned training—such as the Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst Certificate, which aligns with Microsoft’s PL-300 exam.‎

    While Microsoft does not offer its full Professional Certificates, Specializations, or courses for free, there are two ways to ensure you have selected the best topic and program to meet your goal.

    • Preview the first module of many Microsoft courses at no cost. This includes video lessons, readings, graded assignments, and Coursera Coach (where available).
    • Start a 7-day free trial for Specializations or Coursera Plus. This gives you full access to all course content across eligible programs within the timeframe of your trial.

    If you want to keep learning, earn a certificate from Microsoft, or unlock full course access after the preview or trial, you can upgrade or apply for financial aid.‎
