SharePoint Online Course for Users - UK Wide | On-site or Online

Introduction to SharePoint Online Training Course for End Users

Our Introduction to SharePoint course for Users is a one-day event covering the fundamentals needed for working confidently with SharePoint within the Microsoft 365 environment at a user level of competency.

This essentials training course covers the topics that end users need to become fluent with the service features available in the SharePoint Online environment, including getting started with List Apps, Alerts, Libraries, Document Sets, custom Views, OneDrive and Delve.

Our expert trainers come to you and can deliver this SharePoint User course at your organisation's premises anywhere in mainland UK, or virtually from anywhere.

Courseware will be provided electronically.

SharePoint Online User Training Course Prerequisites

No previous knowledge of SharePoint Online is required to attend this entry-level course for new SharePoint users. Learners should ideally be able to navigate their way around the Microsoft 365 environment and be familiar with Windows 11 and Microsoft Edge (or a recent version of Internet Explorer). Courseware will be provided electronically.

On-site SharePoint User Training

These are corporate in-house training courses conducted at your workplace for small groups. You should aim to book at least a month in advance and the maximum group size is ten per course.

Our 'face-to-face' closed courses for SharePoint Online are delivered as private events and afford more flexibility than off-the-peg courses with opportunities to tailor content to fit your particular learning needs. Your trainer will discuss your requirements with you prior to the course date.

We can attend anywhere in mainland UK (for overseas requirements, please enquire).

Virtual Classroom SharePoint User Courses, UK and Beyond

If you'd rather that your team learns remotely, these small-group SharePoint Online courses are also available as live virtual, interactive sessions from the comfort of your office or workplace. These courses are taught via Microsoft Teams.

Why choose virtual learning? As we've all become used to Online learning (and live virtual meetings) it is clear that this format has some advantages over traditional face-to-face learning.

If you're looking for local training, then you can't get closer to your doorstep than you can with virtual learning.

For virtual SharePoint training the maximum class size is ten and you benefit from full and immersive interaction with your trainer just as if they were in the classroom with you, with engaging hands-on training via live video conferencing that's enriched by features such as live chat, private chat, and sharing screens and documents.

Do you Record your Live Virtual SharePoint End User Courses?

In our experience recording live SharePoint courses delivered via MS Teams isn't necessarily a great idea. Problems include recordings failing due to live Teams updates and also client bandwidth issues caused by streaming meetings and recording simultaneously. In order to avoid disruptions, we do not record our virtual Microsoft SharePoint courses.

Commercial and Corporate SharePoint User Courses for the Public and Private Sectors

How Many People Should Attend Our Private SharePoint End User Courses?

Whilst the number of people who attend our private Microsoft SharePoint courses is essentially up to you and depends on the number of learners you have (up to our ten per course limit), we encourage clients to keep class sizes small. This provides a more personable and effective learning experience and allows the trainer to give individual attention to every student.

What is the Teaching Method for Our SharePoint End User Courses?

The teaching methodology for our SharePoint courses is Instructor-led training (ILT), meaning that our courses are engaging, immersive, hands-on and interactive. With this participatory learning method your staff will retain information better, whether they're studying SharePoint in-person or via live virtual classroom.

And, whilst we're happy to provide lectures, show-and-tells and drop-in surgeries, the ILT approach is by far the best way to bring your SharePoint know-how to life in a small-class-size setting.

Plus, these SharePoint courses are CPD accredited through our trusted learning partners.

How Long are Our Microsoft SharePoint End User Courses?

Usual teaching hours are 9.30AM to 4.30PM with a lunch hour and short breaks morning and afternoon. This timetable is fairly standard across the industry and gives six hours of hands-on SharePoint learning, which is an optimal day's training for comfortably absorbing and retaining information and completing practice exercises.

If you want a different start time for your course please let us know.

Courses are delivered week days, Monday to Friday during normal British business hours.
