A SharePoint Learning Experience

I took the Admin course, with a colleague, as our University was just starting to get into SharePoint and we felt very much in need of training and knowledge. The course was intensive and crammed with information and we came out feeling a bit brain soggy but keen, eager and equipped to get to grips with building our portal.
A return visit for me for Designer was again a great learning experience but also a return to old friends. The spin off from both courses was an intorduction into the world of the SharePoint community both from other students and through the UK User Group where CK played a significant role.
In summary, the fees were the best investment we ever made and built foundations for rewarding, productive and sociable community links. A very positive experience I would recommend to others.
I originally took the Admin track with Combined Knowledge in the early part of 2007 when I first moved into SharePoint fulltime. When I switched to full time development, CK was the obvious choice to get me started with their development track.
The courses are packed full of information delivered in a small group by knowledgeable instructors, many of which are values MVP's in the SharePoint community.
I have attended several Combined Knowledge SharePoint training courses at Leicester, Midlands and all the courses covered most the content I expected and exceeded my expectation. They had the right balance of theory and hands on which you would not expect from any other IT training institute.
The good thing about Combined Knowledge, and I think a distinguishing feature, is that their trainers are consultants who train part time, rather than full time trainers who have perhaps lost touch with the real world.
The courses I have attended have certainly uplifted my confidence working with SharePoint and I would definitely recommend to any one else.

Innovation, Intimacy, Industrialisation – Words that may not mean much to the larger audience, but for me it is the foundation of the SharePoint solution I am currently developing.
The foundation of this solution is knowledge, understanding from experts the limits to which SharePoint can be pushed. Often misconstrued as a tool, a piece of software, wrong – it is a framework, a blueprint on which to build, develop and push those limits.
I approached combined knowledge for a number of SharePoint training courses to affirm my knowledge, to make sure the things I have learnt over the past 2 years hard work was correct, was valid and more importantly was right for the solution being developed.
I was not disappointed, from the excellent customer interaction with Zoe, to the professionalism and desire of Rob, the instructor who graciously interpreted questions and portrayed the answers in a light that not only left me with new knowledge, new information, but made me revisit my original thoughts and beliefs to ensure that the solution I will deliver will be the best “framework” possible.
I have a further 4 courses booked with Combined Knowledge over the next 7 months culminating in the Advance Architect course – I can’t wait!
Thanks all for making the course an enjoyable journey – I am now, more than ever, convinced that Combined Knowledge are the apex of SharePoint training in the UK.
Several colleagues and I have attended SharePoint training courses run by Combined Knowledge in Ullesthorpe Leics. The courses I have attended have all been excellent and the feedback from my colleagues has been very positive, in particular with regards to the trainers subject knowledge and course content. I would not hesitate to recommend Combined Knowledge.
Well organised courses by highly knowledgeable SharePoint Trainers. The course at a Golf Course Hotel in Leicester are a great enjoyment. The highlights aren't just the dinners but Combined Knowledge seem to think about even the smallest details.
If you want a SharePoint course in UK look no further than Combined Knowledge.
