Getting Started with KorixLearn

1. What is KorixLearn?

KorixLearn is a free training website that teaches you Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Outlook, and Windows (10 and 11) — plus a Computer Basics course if you're brand new to computers. It's built like a self-paced online course: you watch short videos, read a summary of what each one covers, and work through everything at your own speed.

You don't need any software installed to watch the lessons, and you don't need to know anything about computers to start — Course 1 (Computer Basics) assumes zero experience.

1. Go to the Create an Account page.
2. Fill in your name, email, and a password (the form also asks a few background questions — this helps us report on the program, it's not a test).
3. Click Create Account & Enroll.
4. If asked, check your email and click the confirmation link before logging in.

Once your account exists, go to the Log In page any time you want to continue your training. Enter your email and password and click Log In.

Forgot your password? Click Forgot password? on the login page — it emails you a link to set a new one.

There are 8 courses. If you're new to computers, start with Computer Basics. If you already know your way around a keyboard and mouse, jump straight to whichever Office program you need most.

You can switch between courses any time using the row of tabs at the top of any course page — your progress in each one is saved separately.

Every course looks the same, so once you've used one, you know them all:

• Sidebar (left): Every lesson in the course, numbered in order. Tap the ☰ button top-left to show or hide it — handy on a phone.
• Video: Click a lesson and its video appears. Just press play.
• What You'll Learn: A short list of what that video actually teaches you, so you know what to look for.
• Step-by-Step Guide: Plain-English instructions you can follow along with in the real program.
• Challenge: A small task at the end of each lesson — try it in the real app before moving on.

Word's course also has extra reference modules near the end — a Study Guide, a Workspace Tour, and short Quizzes — worth a look once you've been through the videos.

Every course page has a blue Ask Kori button in the bottom-right corner. Click it, type a question in plain language (like "how do I freeze panes" or "focused inbox"), and it searches that course's lessons for the closest answer.

Watching a video only gets you so far — click Practice Online (Free) near the top of any Office course page to open Microsoft's real, free Office web apps in a new tab. Try the steps yourself in an actual document, spreadsheet, or presentation while the lesson is fresh.

You don't have to do anything special — the moment you open a lesson's video, that module is automatically marked as done. Visit the My Progress page any time to see your enrollment status, assessments, and where you stand.

Once you've opened every lesson across all 8 courses, the Final Exam unlocks automatically. It's a multiple-choice test covering material from every course, and you need 70% to pass. There's no timer, and if you don't pass, you can review and try again.

Until every module is complete, that page shows you exactly which courses still have lessons left — with a link straight to each one.

The final exam on this website is a self-check — a good way to see if you're ready. The official KORIX certificate is a separate, proctored test administered in person by program staff. It's the credential that actually gets issued and verified.

Once you've earned it, your certificate (and a QR code that verifies it's genuine) will be available to download from your My Progress page.
