By Ben "Coach" Culbertson
MCT, MCSA, MCDBA, CIW, A+, Net+, MOS
Most admins new to SharePoint think it's a big scary server
product that requires loads of configuration. Don't worry, it's far from scary.
In fact, SharePoint is an easy to use CMS (Content Management System) web site integrated
with Microsoft Office.
SharePoint 2007 is a portal-based collaboration and file management server.
It is made out of various web parts (such as web sites and blogs) that are hosted
on the portal.
It also comes in two flavors: the free Services 3.0 version that is available with
Microsoft Server products and the more robust SharePoint Server 2007 edition with
all its extra collaboration and search features.
This hands-on course will dive into both versions (MOSS & WSS) and prepare you
for both MCTS exams: 70-630 & 70-631!
"Am I Qualified to Take this SharePoint Server 2007 Course?"
YES!
If you are a Junior or Senior Level Network Administrator or consultant with the
strong desire to build a SharePoint solution using either SharePoint Services (the
free download) or SharePoint Server.
YES!
If you have a basic knowledge of servers, user accounts, and basic web skills, then
you are qualified to take this course.

Training Course:
"The course for SharePoint has put me closer to my goal. (I am looking to get

I have used your courses in the past and they seem to be very well put together.
The course for SharePoint has put me closer to my goal. (I am looking to get certified
on the SharePoint and also give me more hands on skills).
I learned about some gotchas that I wasn’t aware of from the reading material
I used, but the instructor pointed right out. Very good self paced learning courses.
I would recommend any of these courses to any IT pro to further their high tech
learning.

"Coach Culberston's video based study materials provided me with an in

front of my colleagues..."
I purchased this course to get in depth knowledge about the Sharepoint Server and
to implement the same in my current job
I heard about Sharepoint Server and its features. But, I was lacking an indepth
knowledge about the same.
Coach Culberston's video based study materials provided me with an in depth
knowledge and technical know-how about the Sharepoint Server and made me proud in
front of my colleagues.
Also, I was able to study the subject step-by-step by viewing and going through
the same again and again.
I rate your study material as a highly recommended quality product in its class.

"I actually let some developers use my MOSS 2007 CD's at work... They say the
CD's are actually better than training they have received over time to even understand
Share Point..."
I ordered the SharePoint 2007 CD to get back familiar with the basic administration
of a SharePoint portal. I am very familiar with the 2003 flavor of MOSS but not
2007. The CD's were very helpful to me and a couple of friends at work. Your instructor
led traing is so good we have since implemented to our required training for new
interns that will become future developers.
I would say that the courses that I have ordered from Train Signal have helped me
tremedously.
You have to unserstand that I have taken really great jobs not understanding DHCP,
Basic AD, or DNS. After one weekend with a Train Signal CD and my server, I return
to work as the SME (Subject Matter Expert) on the following day. You CD's have always
aided me in gaining much needed knowledge to make it in todays IT job market.
So far I can honestly say that I cant go any further than a 5 (out of 5 stars) with
any of the courses I have ordered. Look at it this way, I actually let some developers
use my MOSS 2007 CD's at work (These guys have been working with programming, Net
design, Web design, and a list of other things for about 6 years.) They say the
CD's are actually better than training that they have recieved over time to even
understand Share Point.
I always show people the site and recommend to them if they want to learn a technology
thats going to land them a great job in the DC area. Then Train Sigal is where they
need to start.

"I highly recommend this course for anyone who is or will be installing SharePoint
services..."
To self-train on SharePoint to gain skills in installation and maintenance.
We have identified a need for a system to aid with our collaboration efforts here
at the Monastery. Our entire server systems are Windows based and as IT Manager,
going with SharePoint was the logical choice. Also, I being the one who would
have to implement, train and maintain the system, I needed training.
I checked out local instructor based training, but due to cost and the time restraints,
your product was the most flexible to my schedule and budget.
Several years ago I purchased the hard drive package from you. To date, I
still refer back to many of those video lessons. Whether setting up a new
server or adding in a new feature to an existing one.
We currently are in the installation phase of implementation and your training videos
have been a very big time saver for me during this process.
I highly recommend this course for anyone who is or will be installing SharePoint
services.

"Since taking the course, I have implemented 2 SharePoint farms (one internal,
and one external)..."
I have purchased most of the Windows courses that you offer. I'm a repeat
customer, and quite satisfied with Train Signal.
My responsibilities include the rollout of several SharePoint environments
for my company (an intranet site, colaborative sites, extranet sites and Internet
sites).
So, I needed the training to perform the rollout, and provide support to the users.
PLUS, I could afford the course. I did not get re-imbursed from my company.
I like the TrainSignal labs because I go back to the videos, and review. The lab
environment suites me just fine. I didn't just look and listen. I performed
the labs along with the instructor.
Since taking the course, I have implemented 2 SharePoint farms (one internal, and
one external).
Specifically using the course, I have created and configured our Records Center.
The course helped me to understand the concepts of record types.
We are now getting ready to roll out our colaborative environment, and the course
helps me to understand permissions. The course gave me the ability to support
very demanding users.
With the use of an ISA 2006 server, I have roled out the Internet facing farm. With
tips specifically from the instructor I've been able to backup the farms, and make
corrections when a backup has failed.
On a scale of 1 to 5, I'd rate it a 5. I refer to the videos quite often and
get a lot out of all of your courses.

Tom Brite
"It has great reference and examples the you can refer to. I watch the videos
when I have questions on particular items..."
I purchased this course to prep for implementation of SharePoint.
It has great reference and examples the you can refer to. I watch the videos when
I have questions on particular items.
I like the fact that you can pause the videos and go try it out the examples on
a server. I also like the fact that the videos are clear and easy to understand.

"I bought the SharePoint 2007 Course for my wife, who is learning SharePoint
to get into IT for hands on experience and for certification..."
My wife said the course did help a lot. She has purchased a few books on SharePoint,
and she said that without your course, she wouldn’t have understood what the
books were talking about.
She indicated she thoroughly enjoyed the step by step practical guides your training
provides. She said the logical order of the learning. She also liked that
each lesson was small and concise geared for an easy to understand topic.

"The Share Point 2007 videos have helped me immensely by giving me the knowledge
and skill to hit the ground running with the implementation at work..."
The main reason to buy the Share Point 2007 course was that we are in the process
of developing and implementing Share Point. We are looking at utilizing the software
to fulfill our Intranet, Internet and Document Management needs.
This tool is also going to be used for collaboration and as a team, project and
status portal for various departments within the organization, such as Marketing,
Finance, HR, IT, etc.
I have been buying Train Signal Courses for a number of years and it is definitely
the best material to prepare in the market.
The Share Point 2007 videos have helped me immensely by giving me the knowledge
and skill to hit the ground running with the implementation at work. The instructor
described the product extremely well and I was able to master the content in a few
days.

"The material was presented in a way that anyone new to SharePoint Services
would get the most out of it..."
I purchased this course to improve my hands on skills for my current job as an IT Specialist.
The course has given me an exposure to SharePoint Services and made me appreciate
what Microsoft has to offer yet again, in the field of information exchange and
collaboration.
The material was presented in a way that anyone new to SharePoint Services would
get the most out of it.
I highly recommend the course to anyone with desire to learn SharePoint Services
for the first time.
Thanks,

"It helped me become more productive by utilizing the power of SharePoint Services
integrated with Microsoft Office applications..."
This course helped me setup my site successfully. It showed me how to upload any
content. It helped me see my progress as I update and improve my documents with
the visioning feature of SharePoint Services.
It helped me become more productive by utilizing the power of SharePoint Services
integrated with Microsoft Office applications.
A client wanted SharePoint setup and I didn't have the time to go through all the
white papers, documentation etc to learn how to do it. I chose the easy option...
Train Signal ... considering how "all over the place" SharePoint config
menus are. I would have to rate the CBT at 7 (out of 5)
