Overview
This class combines Combined Knowledge Ltd's SharePoint 2010 Collaboration for End Users, SharePoint 2010 Site Management for End Users and SharePoint 2010 Site Collection Administration courses to provide a comprehensive training program for power end users who would also like to learn how to teach the Combined Knowledge Ltd. end user course material internally. This course presents thorough coverage from the ground up about how to use, operate, and build sites in a Microsoft SharePoint 2010 environment. Students first learn about site navigation and data storage and retrieval through Instructor-led modules covering topics such as search and effective use of lists and libraries. Building on this foundation, students dive deeper into site administration, learning how to create and manage sites, lists, libraries, views and workflows. Security and rights administration are also covered. Functional concepts and best practices are interwoven into the modules to provide a framework for the topics.
*Note - This course is orientated around SharePoint 2010, but is also applicable to SharePoint Foundation 2010.
During the SharePoint 2010 Train the Trainer course, we will go through each course with the intent of learning SharePoint, best teaching practices, learn the scope and vision of each, and be equipped with a broader knowledgebase of the courses. A participant in this Train the Trainer should have introductory to intermediate technical level experience and knowledge with SharePoint Technologies and should be accustomed to teaching in the classroom and learning new material with a view to teaching it.
Site Licenses
The SharePoint 2010 Train the Trainer course is designed to teach delegates how to deliver our End User courses internally using the Combined Knowledge end user course material. Therefore, this course will only be relevant to organisations which have purchased the Site Licenses (electronic course manuals).
Site Licenses are electronic course manuals which can be modified to reflect your own portal images and corporate style, thus creating a familiar learning environment for your delegates. The Site Licenses can be purchased in various amounts depending on your requirements, they can then be printed for you to use as and when you require.
The licenses can also be uploaded onto your internal portal to act as useful reference guides for your delegates. The licenses may only be purchased to train your own internal delegates.
If you require Site Licenses for the full SharePoint 2010 End User course, you will need to purchase a site license for SharePoint 2010 Collaboration for End Users and a Site License for SharePoint 2010 Site Management for End Users, as these are separate courses which combine to create the End User course. The Site Licenses can also be purchased separately, as it is likely that more users will require training at a Collaboration level than at a Site Management level.
Samples of the Site Licenses, and the pricing structure, are available on request.
If you already have the Combined Knowledge End User Adoption Solution and will be acquiring the 2010 end user content for this, this can also be used to print training materials for use internally.
