We are using all of our resources to bring the best possible Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 training to our clients. Therefore, we no longer offer SharePoint 2003 classes. If your company is upgrading soon, we recommend the SharePoint 2007 class, which covers all new SharePoint features as well as upgrade from SharePoint 2003. For a limited time we are giving away free SharePoint 2003 & 2007 Training DVD with each class registration.
Instead of a live class, you can purchase our fundamentals or development interactive SharePoint 2003 Training DVD based on five years of consulting and training experience with SharePoint and over ten years experience with other document management and portal systems.

Please contact us for student referrals that are specific to your industry or read the SharePoint Training testimonials that we have already included below.
"The instructor's knowledge was excellent. One of our company's main concerns about the training, especially on newer technology, is the amount of knowledge and experience the instructor holds. We have paid top dollar in the past for training where the instructor read from a manual. It was clear that the instructor was not only experienced with SharePoint Portal 2003 & WSS, but was also experienced with teaching. Also, the spectrum of data covered was extremely relevant. There are so many sides to this product. I took clear understanding of all the major aspects needed to begin using a SharePoint solution. The pace of training was easy to follow and all of the code examples, manual, and the DVD will help fill in anything I missed."
“The best things about the class were excellent presentation, individual attention, and product coverage.”
"Topics covered during the training were relevant to our intranet site. Presentation was clear and concise. Instructor was extremely knowledgeable in all topics covered and was always available for questions, particularly real-time site questions. Thank you for all your help! Excellent class."
