In addition to beginner courses, many schools and training providers also offer advanced courses in Outlook, which require basic knowledge of the applications and go into more detail about the individual functions that make (working) life easier, such as time management and work organization using this or other Office applications.

As a rule, Outlook courses are offered that last between one and two days, in some cases even longer, depending on how extensively and in detail you want to deal with this Office application.
