Training

Plenty of support tickets describe no malfunction whatsoever, only uncertainty. Can a folder be shared rather than attaching the document? Why does ID Austria refuse to log in on a freshly issued laptop? Was that early-morning text about a parcel held at the post office legitimate? Individually trivial, such questions add up to hours lost each week. Apply teaches live via video, working inside the applications your people really use, so that from the following morning colleagues handle their tools more confidently and raise fewer tickets.

Subjects clients ask for most

Six recurring themes for small firms, professional practices and medical offices. Content is never recycled unchanged: each course is rebuilt from the client's own applications and real situations.

Everyday Microsoft 365

Aimed at every employee. Working in Teams, OneDrive and SharePoint without piles of copied attachments or constant confusion over which file is current.

Phishing and payment fraud

Aimed at every employee. Bogus delivery texts, fake tax office refunds, supplier invoices carrying altered bank details and the fraudulent “managing director” demanding an instant transfer.

ID Austria, USP and FinanzOnline

Aimed at advisory firms, payroll clerks and administrators. Login, qualified e-signatures, delegated rights in the Business Service Portal and electronic invoicing, without a scramble on the day a filing is due.

CRM discipline for sales

Aimed at sales staff. Customer conversations get logged centrally rather than scribbled in a pad forgotten on the passenger seat.

Copilot and other AI helpers

Aimed at marketing, service desks and controllers. Quicker drafts and summaries, while keeping personal details away from places they should never go.

Running systems safely

Aimed at part-time in-house administrators. Handling accounts, backups, networking and access rights confidently, without phoning the IT partner about every trifle.

Courses also produce useful evidence. Under NIS2, management bodies of in-scope entities have to complete cybersecurity training, and similar training for the workforce is encouraged. The AI Act asks organisations deploying AI to make sure employees have adequate AI literacy. Our dated attendance records, course outlines and certificates of attendance can be filed as proof in your compliance folder. Whether that proves sufficient for your specific situation is a judgement for your security officer or legal counsel.

Planning, delivery and follow-up

Dates are always your call. Below is the sequence we follow and the points where your input matters.

01

Needs analysis

We talk to the person commissioning the course and send learners a short questionnaire. Groups are formed by existing skills, never by job title.

02

Syllabus and schedule

A written outline states goals, length and time slots for each module, avoiding quarter closings, the high season and other busy spells.

03

Teaching sessions

Invitations arrive in everyone's calendar. If errors in production would hurt, learners practise on a sandbox account or a copy populated with fictitious records.

04

Records and cheat sheets

Each attendee gets a certificate. Your organisation retains the video recordings plus single-page reference sheets for future hires.

Frequently asked questions

No, teaching is online only. Participants may sit together in a meeting room equipped with a screen and speakerphone, or each may connect from a personal workstation, which tends to make hands-on tasks easier. People based at other branches or working from home save the journey entirely.

A maximum of ten to twelve lets everybody try things out and raise questions. Awareness talks on phishing can accommodate more listeners because exercises play a smaller part. With SharePoint or Excel, however, larger audiences learn noticeably less.

Recordings are split into brief clips per subject and accompanied by illustrated how-to guides. Many organisations find that sufficient. When a whole cohort starts together, a compact onboarding session beats rerunning the full programme.

Each person receives an individual attendance certificate, and the employer gets a dated register listing the topics taught. Both can be added to GDPR, NIS2 or AI literacy records. Neither amounts to a vendor certification or an officially recognised qualification.

Certain education grants offered by the federal states require an accredited provider, which Apply is not. Please confirm eligibility with the funding body in advance; we do not submit applications on anyone's behalf. Courses are invoiced like our other work: €110 per hour plus VAT for businesses, with an all-in price for the complete programme fixed beforehand.
