With SharePoint you can set up a team site in no time to share, manage and retrieve information. In this basic course you explore both the user and the administrator side, so that afterwards you can get to work independently.
Description
In this SharePoint Basics course you get to work with Microsoft SharePoint, the platform you use to create team sites for finding, sharing and managing information. You look at SharePoint from two angles: as an end user and as an administrator who sets up and configures a site.
You work with the interface, libraries and lists, and you learn how to upload documents and check them in and out. You will also build a site: you create subsites and pages, add web apps and various types of content, and set up the navigation.
The course is taught in small groups, so that the trainer can respond to your working situation and learning needs. You can indicate which version of SharePoint you use (Microsoft 365, 2019 or 2016), so that you train in the software that matches your daily practice. You are welcome to bring your own practical examples, which makes the course even more concrete.

Result
After this course you will work with SharePoint with confidence. You can find, share and manage documents on a team site and know how to use libraries and lists in your work. You check documents in and out and adapt the interface to your own preferences.
You can also set up and configure a site yourself. You add subsites, pages, web apps and various types of content, arrange the navigation and ensure a logical structure. This means that afterwards you know both the user side and the administrator side of SharePoint.
Target audience
This course is intended for anyone who is going to work with SharePoint and wants to get to know both the user side and the administrator side. Think of employees who share documents and information with colleagues via a team site, and of people who want to set up and configure a site themselves. Prior knowledge of SharePoint is not required; experience with Windows and the internet is useful.
Teaching method
You follow the course in a classroom setting in a small group, guided by an experienced trainer. At the start you discuss your entry level together and what you want to get out of the course. After that you get to work actively yourself: you get to know SharePoint from both the user and the administrator side and practise directly with the right software version (Microsoft 365, 2019 or 2016).
Are you facing a specific situation in your day-to-day work? Feel free to bring that example along, so you can practise with it in a practical way during the course.
Prior knowledge
You do not need any specific prior knowledge. If you occasionally work with an internet browser and can handle basic word processing, you will be able to follow this course without difficulty. Do you already have experience with SharePoint as a user? A bonus, but not a requirement.
Comments
When you book, you indicate which version of SharePoint you use (Microsoft 365, 2019 or 2016). We tailor the course accordingly. Feel free to bring your own practical example, so that you can work even more specifically.

In-company
Would you like to organise this training for a whole group or several groups? This can be cost-effective. For example, we can tailor the content entirely to your organisation, and training a whole group is also cheaper.
Are you looking at large numbers of participants or a complete academy? That involves a great deal. Consider planning and communication, for example, or identifying and agreeing the objectives and content of the training. Or differences in level, feedback mechanisms and safeguarding. Fortunately, Learnit has extensive experience in this field (more than 25 years) and we are happy to help you through this process.

What others say about this course
SharePoint Basics course: average 8.4 from 3 reviews
"It was a small group, so the course could be tailored very closely to our personal goals and the way we work at the company. That gave us a lot of information we could apply straight away."
"Fine course"
"I knew that a lot was possible in SharePoint, but in fact everything is possible, including connections with all the other Office apps. It's a shame that it is so poorly promoted within our organisation and by Microsoft, because it is a 'super tool'."
"The course is good for getting an idea of what you need to consider when setting up SharePoint and helps you think about possible problems that will need to be solved along the way. It also shows that working with SharePoint requires a cultural shift within your organisation."
"In a short space of time – unfortunately I was unable to attend the second day – I learned some very practical applications."
“A quick introduction to working with SharePoint in the right and easy way.”
"Good story, knowledgeable and inspiring, with a dose of humour too"
“Great basic course that gives you an insight into the general possibilities of SharePoint, without burying you in the details.”
"Learned lots of handy tricks"
