Course overview

Collecting feedback, registrations or test results on paper, or in files emailed back and forth, wastes time gathering and retyping data. Microsoft Forms lets you build surveys, quizzes and polls in minutes. People can answer on a computer or a phone, results are summarised as charts straight away, and they can be passed on to Excel for analysis. When permissions and question types are set up correctly from the start, the data you collect is complete, free of duplicates and ready to use.

This course takes you through Microsoft Forms from your first survey, through every question type, pictures, video and themes, branching so that questions change with the answers, and quizzes with points and explanations, to choosing who can respond, sharing by link and QR code, working with colleagues, and viewing results and exporting them to Excel. It finishes with a workshop that builds a working course evaluation and post-test. (1 day, 6 hours, Beginner level.)

Curriculum

Course Details

This is the 2026 edition of the Microsoft Forms course. It runs for 1 day, 6 hours (09:00-16:00), as lectures with labs, at Beginner level. It keeps the original topics of building surveys and quizzes, pictures and video, sharing and viewing results, and adds Ranking, Likert, Net Promoter Score and file upload questions, branching, choosing who can respond, QR codes, collaboration and opening results in Excel. Learners use their own personal or work Microsoft account and keep the evaluation and quiz from the workshop in that account for later use.

Frequently asked questions

How do surveys and quizzes differ in Microsoft Forms?

A survey (New Form) collects opinions or information with no right or wrong answers. A quiz (New Quiz) lets you set correct answers, points for each question and explanatory messages. Forms marks choice questions automatically, while you mark open text answers yourself before posting scores to respondents.

How do I add a picture or video to a question in Microsoft Forms?

Select the question, choose the insert media icon beside it, then pick a picture from your computer, OneDrive or a search, or paste a link to a video on YouTube or Microsoft Stream. You can resize or remove it from the picture's menu. A logo or header image is added at the form title.

How do I view responses and export them from Microsoft Forms to Excel?

Open the Responses tab to see the summary and individual answers, then select Open results in Excel. A form created directly in Microsoft Forms gives you a one-off copy of the results, while a form created from Excel for the web, OneDrive or SharePoint gives you a workbook linked to the form that picks up new responses.

Who is Microsoft Forms for, and what do I need to know first?

It suits anyone who collects feedback, takes registrations or runs quizzes in their work, such as teachers, trainers, HR staff and event organisers. You need to be able to use a computer and a web browser, and have a personal or organisational Microsoft account.

What will I be able to do after Microsoft Forms?

You will be able to build surveys, polls and quizzes with suitable question types, use branching and sections, choose who can respond and share forms by link or QR code, collaborate with colleagues and analyse results in Excel, and you leave with the working evaluation and quiz from the workshop.

Can Microsoft Forms be run in-house for our team?

Yes. IT Genius Institute runs in-house sessions and can use the forms and evaluations your team already works with as lab exercises. Contact us for a quotation.
