SharePoint is a complicated product to say the least. Throughout an organization, many different people with different roles use SharePoint in one way or another. As a training company, it’s difficult to find the right mix of courses that provide people with the specific SharePoint training they need.

We have put together this framework to help us determine what SharePoint 2010 training classes to offer so that when a potential student/client asks “what SharePoint 2010 classes are right for me?” we have an answer.
