Finding high-quality instructional materials for you to teach is hard – hard enough that you might think that they don’t exist. However, they do exist; you can buy everything that you need to teach your end users SharePoint. The SharePoint Shepherd’s Course for End Users includes instructor manuals, student manuals, PowerPoint presentations, and a site template to allow you to teach for up to two days per student. While we expect that few folks will want to teach all of their end users for two days the course is designed so that you can pull the important parts to your organization and use them. Delete – or simply skip – the content you don’t want to cover to get a completely customized end user training experience for your users.

Deep SharePoint expertise – dating back to the start of the product in 2001 – means that not only do you get training on what the product does but you get gentle encouragement on how to use the product in a way that works well. You won’t have to struggle to learn SharePoint and write materials at the same time. Nor will you have to delay training and thereby create frustration and increase helpdesk calls.

The materials dovetail into the SharePoint Tutor 2013 – a set of materials that can be licensed and deployed on your network as a reference to be used after the users have completed the training. When used together you can minimize your instructional time and increase the learning and learning retention rates.

See below for the outline for the materials including the introduction to SharePoint, the working with SharePoint, the creating with SharePoint, and Administering SharePoint modules.
