Ahmad Sidani

SharePoint Developer

"The trainer was great and really informative when asked a lot of questions. The course is slightly disjointed though as it would never be possible to cover the entire handbook in detail in 2 days. It would also be useful to work through the handbook in chronological order to make it easier to refer back to."

Vinni Joseph

Software Test Engineer at Aimstorm Solutions and Services

The Planning and Administering SharePoint 2016 Training was a game-changer for me. As someone who had very little experience with SharePoint, I found the course to be comprehensive yet easy to follow. The instructors were knowledgeable and approachable, and the hands-on exercises really helped solidify my understanding of the material. Overall, I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to become proficient in SharePoint administration."

Tiara Evans

SharePoint Administrator

"As SharePoint online comes as a standalone and as part of the Subscription O365. We as a company are using SharePoint Online as part of the subscription, therefore there were topics such as Hub sites which I feel should have been touched upon. At least this is something which I was hoping the course would cover. This together with how Groups and Teams effects site collections in SharePoint Online."
