Introduction to SharePoint (half-day)
With many organisations now moving to Cloud-based working, knowledge and understanding of SharePoint is essential. SharePoint Libraries allow you to share your files across teams and organisations, keeping your documents secure and allowing for easy collaboration.
This half-day course takes you through all the essentials of SharePoint, including navigating Libraries, creating, editing and uploading documents, and using the desktop versions of SharePoint and Microsoft Office.
This course is only available for private bookings, either for groups or as a one-to-one, held online via Zoom or in the classroom. Please get in touch for availability.
