Frequently asked questions

What prior knowledge do you need for the SharePoint Basics course?

You do not need any specific prior knowledge for the SharePoint Basics course. It is useful, however, if you are familiar with Windows and can use an internet browser. The course is suitable for both end users and novice administrators. At the start, the trainer discusses your entry level, so that in a small group you can work specifically on the topics that matter to you.

What will you learn during the SharePoint Basics course?

During the SharePoint Basics course you get to know both the user side and the administrator side of SharePoint. You work with libraries, upload and check documents in and out, and work with lists. You also set up a team site yourself, add pages and web apps, adjust the layout and configure the navigation. Afterwards you will be able to set up and manage a SharePoint site independently.

Which versions of SharePoint are covered in the SharePoint Basics course?

In the SharePoint Basics course you work with the version you use yourself: Microsoft 365, SharePoint 2019 or SharePoint 2016. When you register, you indicate which version you have. The planners then make sure you follow the course in the right software version. Are you using an earlier version? Then a suitable solution will be found together with you.

Who is the SharePoint Basics course suitable for?

The SharePoint Basics course is suitable for anyone who wants to work with SharePoint both as a user and as an administrator of a team site. Think of employees who want to share and manage documents, or colleagues who set up and configure a site themselves. You follow the course in a classroom setting in a small group with personal guidance.

Can the SharePoint Basics course also be taken in-company?

Yes, the SharePoint Basics course can also be taken in-company. You then receive the same classroom training course, but at your organisation's premises and fully tailored to your day-to-day practice. This is useful if you want to train several colleagues at the same time or if your SharePoint environment has specific points requiring attention. Contact us for a tailored quote.

When should you choose a classroom SharePoint course instead of the free tutorials on Microsoft Learn?

Microsoft Learn is fine if you want to look up individual functions, but you miss the overview and the immediate feedback from a trainer. The classroom SharePoint Basics course covers both the user side (libraries, checking in and out, lists) and the administrator side (setting up a site, subsites, web parts, page layout and navigation). You work in a small group, in the SharePoint version you use yourself (Microsoft 365, 2019 or 2016), and you can bring your own practical examples from your working environment. Choose the classroom course if you want to be able to set up a team site within a working team, if you are unsure about the right structure for your organisation, or if you have questions a tutorial does not answer. For simply looking up one specific action, Microsoft Learn is sufficient.

What is the difference between the user side and the administrator side of SharePoint, and does this course cover both?

The SharePoint Basics course covers both sides. On the user side, you learn to work in an existing team site: uploading documents, checking them in and out, working with libraries and lists, and adjusting the interface via quick launch and favourites. On the administrator side, you set up a site yourself, create a subsite, add pages and web parts, determine the page layout and set up the navigation. That distinction matters because most online tutorials focus on just one of the two roles. After this classroom day you will understand how a site administrator's choices affect day-to-day use, which is useful if you both contribute to a team site within your organisation and give input on how it is set up.

How do I know whether this course is enough, or whether I will need a follow-up course later on?

The SharePoint Basics course covers both using SharePoint and setting up and configuring your own team site. For most end users and small team administrators this is sufficient: afterwards you can manage documents, use lists, set up a subsite, add pages and configure navigation. A follow-up course only becomes worthwhile once you become responsible for SharePoint at organisational level, for example for permissions on a large scale, integrations with Microsoft 365 services such as Teams and Power Automate, or designing a site structure for hundreds of users. For that role, a separate administrator or architecture course makes more sense. Not sure? Bring along a concrete practical example from your working environment; the trainer can then tell you whether the basics are enough for your situation.
