General Class Information

Our SharePoint Training consists of instructor-led, hands-on lab oriented courses which are currently offered in several locations throughout the U.S. In all but our Seattle location, each student must bring a qualifying laptop to class for the training. The courses are led by expert SharePoint instructors and include step-by-step, fully documented lab exercises in a comprehensive student workbook.

In each of our training locations (except Seattle)*, hotel room, breakfasts, lunches, and refreshments at breaks are included in the cost of the training. The hotel lodging begins with the night before the class starts. Checkout is the morning of the final day of class. Classes run from 8:30–4:30 daily, except for the final day of class. On the last day of class, we try to get you out by 2:30 – at the latest by 3:00. We do not recommend scheduling a departing flight from any of our locations before 5:30, to be on the safe side, unless you are planning to skip part of the last day’s class.  If you need additional nights of lodging, we can arrange those for you at your own expense.

Only in our Nashville location do we have a dedicated training center. In all other locations except Seattle, we do the actual training in one of the conference rooms of the hotel at which everyone stays.

*Our Seattle, WA training location is unique in that it is a fully equipped computer lab.  Students are not required to bring laptop computers to our Seattle training classes.  The cost of our Seattle training does not include hotel lodging or dinners.  Continental breakfast, lunch, and afternoon refreshments are included.  Seattle students arrange for their own hotel lodging and dinners.

Don't need a hotel room? If you are a local student and do not need a hotel room, or if you would rather make your own lodging arrangements, you will receive $100 per day off the price of the class (except in our Seattle location). Please note this in the "Questions/Comments" section of the online registration form. Some of our locations charge a fee for parking.

At our Nashville training location, complimentary transportation is provided by the hotel to and from the nearest airport. In all other locations, you will have to arrange for your transportation, and it will be for a price. At most of our locations, we have a recommended transportation provider, who offers a discounted rate. Details are available upon request, and are also included in the information you will receive by e-mail after you register. Of course, renting a car provides both the greatest flexibility and the optimum transportation assurance, as you are not dependent on anyone else to conform to your schedule.

We recommend “business casual” as a guideline for dress in our classes. But really, whatever you’re comfortable wearing, as long as it’s not overly distracting, is fine. We just want you comfortable and ready to learn.

Throughout the week of class – during breaks and after class, interaction with the instructors and with other students is encouraged. We want you to get the most out of your training experience, and there is a wealth of information for all of us to share.

Registration is done online on our Registration Page. We offer discounts to qualifying registrants. Employees of government, academic or non-profit institutions are eligible for a $400 discount off the regular cost of any of our courses. When two or more employees of the same company register for the same class at the same time, they are each eligible for a $200 Corporate Group Discount. And any student who has previously taken one of our classes, or attended one of our conferences, is eligible for a $200 Returning Student Discount. All discounts and special offers are mutually exclusive, and may not be combined with any other discount or offer.

For class payment, we accept credit cards, company checks, and purchase orders. We do not accept Microsoft Software Assurance Training Vouchers. Payment arrangements must be complete before a student can attend a training class. We do not offer any "attend now, pay later" arrangements.
