Purpose of this course

Run as a very hands-on workshop, this course aims to familiarise users with the fundamentals of SharePoint. Practical exercises allow delegates to personalise their corporate identity, create and manage documents and lists, view and filter content, search for (and display) business information, follow pre-defined workflows and use some customised webparts.

Who is this course for


The standard course content is aimed at bringing end-users with limited exposure to SharePoint up to a familiarity level at which they can comfortably use common SharePoint functionality as part of their daily work processes.

Bespoke course offerings will use an organisation's own implementation as the basis for material and exercises (using screenshots and features in context with that particular configuration), with workshop content tailored specifically to the duties and responsibilities expected of attending roles.
