Today's distributed work environment often creates the need for managers, employees, and customers to be able to communicate with each other from different physical locations. SharePoint gives you the ability to work in collaboration from many locations. This technology creates a complete intranet, giving access to documents, ideas, important links, and communications.

Our Chancellor's Certificate covers the collaboration features of SharePoint, as well as how to integrate with Office products, store and manage the lifecycle of documents, customize lists, and handle user access. The certificate includes courses using Power Automate, Microsoft's Office 365 application for creating workflows, automating processes, handling approvals, and enhancing your SharePoint site.

Learn to:

  • Understand the basic features and structure of SharePoint in order to quickly and efficiently navigate your site.
  • Foster communication and collaboration across your organization by using your SharePoint site to store, retrieve, and share data and documents.
  • Build out a complete intranet to fit your organization's needs and best present your information.
  • Write flows and approvals to automate your business processes.
  • Integrate SharePoint with other Office products to create a shared productivity environment.
  • Administer and secure your SharePoint site by managing permissions for specific work groups or tasks.
