Course Overview

The Microsoft Office Add-Ins course by Koenig Original is designed for developers, software engineers, and IT professionals aiming to master the creation of cross-platform solutions that extend Microsoft 365 applications. This training prepares candidates for the MS-600: Building Applications and Solutions with Microsoft 365 Core Services exam, a key component of the Microsoft 365 Certified: Teams Application Developer Associate certification. Target roles include Office Add-in Developer, Microsoft 365 Application Engineer, and Cloud Integration Specialist. With over 35% of organizations reporting staffing gaps in Microsoft ecosystem expertise, demand for certified professionals who can build scalable, secure add-ins across Excel, Word, Outlook, and PowerPoint continues to grow rapidly.

Participants engage with core technologies including the Office JavaScript API, Microsoft Graph, unified manifest for Microsoft 365, Yeoman Generator (Yo Office), Visual Studio Code, and Script Lab. The hands-on lab environment leverages Node.js-based development tools and simulates real-world deployment scenarios on Microsoft 365 platforms. Students build functional add-ins from scratch, such as an Outlook task integration that pulls data from external APIs into email clients, configure authentication via Azure AD, and package solutions using Partner Center for submission to Microsoft Marketplace. These labs emphasize responsive design, security best practices, and interoperability across Windows, Mac, iPad, and web versions of Office.

This Koenig Original course equips learners with skills directly aligned to the retired but still industry-recognized MS-600 certification, which validated expertise in modern enterprise-grade app development for Microsoft 365. Certified professionals have reported median salary increases, with Microsoft 365 Developers in the UK earning a median of £90,000 annually as of mid-2024. A key differentiator of Koenig’s training is its Guaranteed-to-Run policy, ensuring scheduled delivery regardless of enrollment numbers, combined with access to official Microsoft courseware and expert-led instruction. Graduates are positioned to lead digital transformation initiatives, enhance productivity through automation, and pursue advanced roles in cloud application development within global enterprises leveraging Microsoft's ecosystem.
