Free Microsoft Office Licences Available via Hwb

All learners across Wales can download and install the latest Microsoft tools at no cost.

 

This includes popular applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Teams, Outlook, and Minecraft Education, as well as additional tools like Planner, Sway, and To-Do. These cloud-based Microsoft 365 applications can be accessed on any browser-enabled device.

We encourage everyone eligible to take full advantage of this opportunity to enhance digital learning and collaboration.
