As a preboarder, you sometimes get the opportunity to start learning at 5miles. You can start improving your skills and apply the knowledge you have gained to your work. As a preboarder, you may not yet have a laptop (with Microsoft Office tools) or a business e-mail address. Below we explain what you can best do to start learning.
I do not have a Windows laptop with Microsoft Office tools
Currently, 5miles offers training courses on Microsoft Office tools (Excel, PowerPoint, Power BI, Teams, Outlook, VBA and Power Apps). For these tools, you need a Windows laptop or a separate Microsoft licence. Do you not have this? First, ask your future employer if they can help you out. If this does not work, you can sign up for a free trial period for a Microsoft licence. To use this licence, you will often need a business e-mail address (see below).

Login at 5miles
Sometimes you will get a business email address directly from your new employer with which you can log in to 5miles. If you didn't get this, you can still start learning with 5miles by signing up with your private email address. Once you have received your business email address, you can change your email address via your profile settings or email us at info@5miles.nl. We will then update your email address for you.
Sign in for a Microsoft licence
For a Microsoft licence, you will often need a business e-mail address, as your private e-mail address will not allow give you access. We recommend discussing this with your new employer. If this is not possible yet, you can use 5miles as a knowledge base and browse the tool and search for any topic you want.
