Microsoft SharePoint Training That Actually Sticks.
Structured SharePoint training for end users, administrators and developers — delivered online across the UK or in person from our Manchester office — taught by the same certified Microsoft Solutions Partner engineers who build and support live SharePoint environments for a living.
What does Microsoft SharePoint training actually cover?
Microsoft SharePoint training is structured instruction in using, administering or building on SharePoint Online — Microsoft's document management, collaboration and intranet platform built into most Microsoft 365 licences. In practice, "SharePoint training" covers three quite different audiences with three quite different needs: end users who need to find, share and collaborate on documents without frustration; administrators who need to configure permissions, site structure and governance; and developers who need to build custom solutions using SharePoint Framework (SPFx), Power Automate and the Microsoft Graph API.
A lot of SharePoint training fails because it treats these three audiences as one — a generic overview session that leaves end users bored by admin content and leaves administrators without the depth they actually needed. We deliver training grounded directly in our ongoing SharePoint services and workspace modernization, ensuring each track addresses real-world business challenges.

A typical SharePoint training curriculum, broken down
Every course is scoped to the specific track and your existing SharePoint setup, but most programmes follow a structure close to this.
Foundations
What SharePoint actually is, how it relates to Microsoft 365, OneDrive and Teams, and the core concepts — sites, libraries, lists — that everything else builds on.
Working with content
Document libraries, metadata, version history, co-authoring and search — the day-to-day skills that make the biggest difference to end-user confidence.
Structure & governance
Site architecture, permissions, hub sites and retention policy — for administrators responsible for keeping the environment usable as it scales.
Automation & customisation
Power Automate flows, custom web parts and SPFx development for teams extending SharePoint beyond its out-of-the-box functionality.
Adoption & ongoing support
Guidance on driving genuine day-to-day adoption after training ends, plus a route back to us for admin or developer questions that come up later.
SharePoint Online intranets for training companies & educators
If you run an educational trust or training organization, a related requirement often surfaces: building a SharePoint Online intranet to manage course materials, learner records, scheduling and staff communications in one place. We handle both architecture builds and team training under one roof.
Alongside our primary SharePoint consultancy service and specialized SharePoint solutions for schools, we pair every deployment with tailored administrator and teacher training so internal teams can manage their system completely independently.
SharePoint training delivery formats
Online SharePoint training and in-person SharePoint training suit different teams, and most of our clients choose based on team size and location. Businesses in the capital can also tap into our dedicated SharePoint consultancy services in London for hybrid strategic sessions.
| Format | Best For | What's Included |
|---|---|---|
| Online SharePoint Training | Remote or distributed teams across the UK | Live, instructor-led sessions via Teams, recorded for later reference |
| SharePoint Training Manchester | Local teams wanting hands-on, in-person delivery | On-site or at our Manchester office, with physical workshop materials |
| Blended Delivery | Multi-site UK businesses | In-person sessions for core teams, online sessions for satellite offices |
All formats are delivered by the same consultants who build and support live SharePoint environments day to day — not a training-only presenter reading from a fixed script.

Getting SharePoint training set up for your team
A conversation about your current SharePoint setup
What's already in place, who needs training, and what's actually going wrong day to day — before any course content is decided.
A scoped curriculum, not a stock deck
Sessions built around your real site structure and permissions, so what's taught matches what your team actually uses.
Delivery, online or in Manchester
Live, instructor-led sessions with recordings and reference materials provided afterwards.
Follow-up support
A route back to us for admin or developer questions that surface once your team starts applying what they've learned.
"Our admin team had been guessing at permission structures for years. The training was built entirely around our actual SharePoint site, not a generic example — that made the difference."

Microsoft SharePoint training — the honest answers
Is this generic SharePoint training or built around our own environment?
We scope every course around your actual SharePoint site structure and permissions where possible, rather than teaching from a generic example environment that doesn't match what your team will use afterwards.
Do you offer both online and in-person SharePoint training?
Yes. Online training is available to teams anywhere in the UK, and in-person training is delivered from our Manchester office or on-site across our core regions.
What's the difference between administrator and developer training?
Administrator training covers site structure, permissions and governance — the skills needed to manage SharePoint day to day. Developer training covers building on SharePoint with SPFx, Power Automate and the Microsoft Graph API — for teams extending the platform's functionality.
Can you help us build a SharePoint intranet, not just train our team?
Yes — that's covered by our separate SharePoint consultancy service, which we often pair with administrator training so your team can maintain the intranet independently afterwards.
How long does a typical SharePoint training programme take?
End user sessions are often a single half or full day. Administrator and developer programmes are usually structured across multiple sessions, scoped to what your team needs to cover.
Do you provide ongoing SharePoint support after training?
Yes. Training clients have a route back to us for administrator or developer questions that come up once they start applying what they've learned, and can move into ongoing managed support if needed.
How much does SharePoint training cost?
It depends on group size, number of sessions and delivery format. Contact us for a fixed quote scoped to your team and requirements.
