SharePoint Training Overview

Accelebrate's Introduction to Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) 3.0 and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 training course teaches participants the basics of creating and managing SharePoint sites using SharePoint’s browser-based management functions. Students will learn the basics of site/subsite structure; how to create and manage lists, document libraries and workspaces; how to set up surveys and analyze responses; how to create Wiki, blog, and threaded discussion sites; and how to work with SharePoint Web Parts.

If desired, the course can also cover the use of SharePoint Designer 2007 as a tool for customizing the appearance of a SharePoint site, creating or modifying master pages, and managing Web content.

Note: the content of this course would be appropriate for both WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007 users as the functionality covered is common to both environments. Accelebrate would be delighted to customize the class to cover additional MOSS 2007 functionality, if requested.
