Course Description
This course includes downloadable course instructor files and exercise files to work with and follow along.
Mastering Microsoft 365 SharePoint Online gives you a clear path through one of the most widely used but often misunderstood tools in Microsoft 365. This course helps you move past scattered folders and email attachments so your team can work from a single, organized, trusted source of information. You start with the basics that trip up most new users: the difference between a site, a list, and a library, and how SharePoint quietly sits behind Teams and OneDrive. The course also explains permission levels and site types, so you can choose the right structure before you build anything.
From there, you build practical skills with lists, document libraries, and modern pages. You learn to sort, filter, and format data, create custom views, and set up forms and approval workflows. Copilot is woven throughout, helping you summarize documents, generate FAQs, and draft pages from a simple prompt. These skills come to life in real situations. You can turn a messy spreadsheet into a working project tracker, build a document library that routes files for approval, and design a branded intranet page using templates and web parts. You will also learn how to connect a site to Teams, so files stay in sync across both tools.
By the end of this training, you will know how to plan, build, and govern a SharePoint Online site that people actually want to use. This course is suitable for site owners, team leads, and anyone responsible for organizing content and collaboration across Microsoft 365.

The course is useful, it should be noted that if you don't have ownership rights on your sharepoint then you won't have the ability to follow through on a lot in the course. As long as you have ownership rights you should be able to follow through on what she is explaining.
By Tatiana Vanessa Lhamas on 8/13/2026
Very simple to understand, the trainer explains so clear and really nice to hear. Thanks!
By Dawn Q Nguyen on 7/22/2026
Overall, the course is very good for beginners or for anyone who wants to refresh their knowledge. I deducted one star because the course did not cover Power Automate in greater depth, which I was expecting to learn more about.
By Mr Matthew Brooks on 5/11/2026
The course was clearly narated by a human (Not AI) covered the majority of items I needed to know regarding Sharepoint and kept simple. Excellent Course from Deb Ashby via Simon Sez IT on Udemy.

By Evgenii Korostelev on 4/21/2026
Great intro course, everything is amazing. Good to add more practical showcase for managing users and user permissions, e.g. visitor, member and owner.
By Sten Peeters on 4/7/2026
It is a good start to get to know SharePoint functionalities. I already worked with it for a couple of months so this information is quite basic.
By Thulasizwe Zwane on 4/6/2026
This course is beneficial and help with optimizing how to use SharePoint efficiently. I already have someone to recommend this course to... and Thank you !!

1. The presenter should limit excessive/sporadic mouse movements which creates a distracting dizzying effect for viewers. 2. It would beneficial to include a section on accessibility best practices in SharePoint Online (Ensuring sufficient color contrast ratios, providing alternative text for images, hierarchical heading structures, descriptive labels for interactive elements, reference WCAG 2.2. as a resource for more info. etc.)
By Lauren Kinzie on 12/4/2025
This is a pretty good starting course for those who are interested in the basics. It may not, however, be the best choice if you already have any foundational knowledge of SharePoint
