This SharePoint Administration Course is designed for IT professionals who manage or plan to manage enterprise SharePoint Online environments. You’ll work inside a real Microsoft 365 tenant, configuring site architecture, permissions, information protection, and Copilot access controls. Beyond exam prep, the course addresses what employers actually expect in 2026: AI governance, secure content sharing, hybrid identity, and automated site lifecycle management – skills that generic tutorials rarely cover in depth.
Prerequisites
- Basic familiarity with Microsoft 365 (Exchange, Teams, OneDrive) is helpful but not mandatory.
- General understanding of Windows networking and Active Directory / Microsoft Entra ID concepts.
- Comfort navigating admin consoles (no scripting experience required, though PowerShell basics are taught in-course).
- No prior SharePoint administration experience is required – the course starts from foundational concepts before moving to advanced administration.
Course Objectives
- Build and manage a secure, well-governed SharePoint Online environment from the ground up.
- Configure site collections, hub sites, and information architecture aligned to business needs.
- Apply Microsoft Purview data protection, retention, and compliance policies to SharePoint content.

- Administer Copilot in SharePoint, agent permissions, and content indexing controls at the tenant level.
- Automate provisioning, reporting, and lifecycle policies using PowerShell and SharePoint Advanced Management (SAM).
- Plan and execute hybrid or on-premises-to-online migration scenarios.
- Prepare for and pass the Microsoft 365 Certified: Teamwork Administrator Associate (MS-700) certification exam.
