SharePoint 2013 Complete Training (Udemy.com)

A complete A-Z SharePoint 2013 guide for office workers

Created by: Kyle Pew

Last updated February 2019

Our take

Based on the ratings of 8,396 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in February 2019. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a beginner-to-intermediate tour of SharePoint 2013: lists, document libraries, workflows, web parts, permissions, subsites, and some SharePoint Designer work. It runs about 5 hours across 67 lectures, with a handful of quizzes and a couple of articles mixed in. Kyle Pew, who has taught SharePoint since the 2003 version, keeps each lecture short, which makes the course easy to work through in small sessions between meetings.

Reviewers consistently like Pew's teaching style. One calls him not intimidating, which matters for people who find tech training stressful, and another describes him as lively and jovial with an easy pace to follow. A couple of reviewers also point to the pacing: lessons built in small chunks that are easy to revisit. The complaints cluster around depth, not delivery. More than one reviewer wanted a real project to build across the course rather than isolated feature demos, and one reviewer wished the workflows and custom design sections went further. Another reviewer felt some talking segments dragged without adding new information.

The course was last updated in 2019, so it covers the 2013 interface specifically. One reviewer says it is still useful even after their office moved to SharePoint 2019, since the core concepts of lists, libraries, and permissions carry over, but anyone on a current SharePoint Online tenant should expect some visual differences. At a low price with a high rating from thousands of students, it works well as a first pass at SharePoint. Anyone chasing on-premises administration or custom development should look elsewhere.

Best forOffice workers new to SharePoint who want the basics explained slowly and clearly.
Skip it ifYou already know SharePoint and want on-premises setup or advanced custom development.

Pros

  • Short, bite-sized lectures make it easy to pause and revisit sections
  • Kyle Pew's approachable teaching style draws consistent praise
  • Covers lists, libraries, workflows, permissions, and subsites in one course
  • High rating across a large review base at a low price

Cons

  • Built around the 2013 interface, so screens look dated on newer SharePoint versions
  • No single project ties the lessons together, so skills stay a bit scattered
  • Some reviewers wanted more depth on workflows and custom design
The trainer, Kyle Pew is lively and jovial in his tutorials. His speed of speaking is comfortable for me to grasp the topic.

Listed as all levels, but the pacing and content suit true beginners more than experienced SharePoint users.

Thanks for the wonderful course, it was very knowledgeable.

By Pat Wright on 11/8/2020

The course is good. It's given me better insight into SharePoint.
I like Kyle's examples on explaining why something might come in handy. But at the same time I'm wishing he would go a little faster. I have a specific task that I'm trying to learn and while I appreciate the background information, I'm finding it hard not to jump ahead to see if this course will answer my questions, or if I have to try another course.
I've only completed 30% done with the course so maybe I'll increase my rating once I'm done.
