- What makes you different from those other guys?
-
- We were the first to offer training for SharePoint solutions developers and programmers, so we've been teaching these classes longer than any other firm.
- We were the first to offer SharePoint advanced customization training.
- We're the only training company with clear development experience under our belt. Our products were written by the same great developers that write and teach the curriculum used in our classes. Depending on the class you take, we'll even teach you how to write one of our commercial products!
- Our private classes are delivered either by the author, or by a highly trained and author-approved SharePoint Experts trainer... not just any random contractor who read a book!
- We use PowerPoint during lectures, but we don't do "death by slide" - our students are digging into the product, deeper every day. You're guaranteed to have a "super geek moment", a moment of realization that you can bend SharePoint to your whim; you won't be bored to sleep by slide-after-slide-after-slide...
- Our trainers are developers first, not salespeople or network administrators. We all come from a background in development, design or business consulting; we eat, sleep and breathe this stuff every day of our lives. We know the product inside and out, and it's clear to everybody in the room that we're excited to share that knowledge with our students!
- We keep up with the latest technology and advancements to the platform.
- Each class grows from the experiences of the previous one; we're constantly adding new material to remain competitive.
- Each student receives six months of ongoing education and support through a private online site called Alumni Central, unlocked only for students who have attended one of our Bootcamps. It's like six months of free consulting. We post new labs, code samples, and other exclusive content for our students (access given upon request from students)
- We don't teach from existing materials, like the SDK or books that you can buy yourself. Our curriculum is unique and real-world, and we want you to dive into the product right away, to squeeze every last drop of functionality from the product.
- Several of our trainers and assistants are Microsoft SharePoint MVPs.
- Our classes are "instructor led, student driven." If we need to spend more time on a particular subject, we will. We'll even shuffle modules around if it helps our students learn. It's all about making YOUR experience the best it can be.
- They are fun classes, every one of them. We do prizes and giveaways, contests and more, to keep students energized and motivated.

Here are some testimonials we've received from recent Bootcamp students:
"Having come from the training industry in a former life, as well as having been intimately involved in many Microsoft training sessions and seminars, I can say without hesitation that the SharePoint Bootcamp experience was the best "bang for the buck" education experience I have ever had. I would strongly recommend their sessions to anyone looking for top quality SharePoint education. It was worth every penny."
"The class was great - I not only learned just how much SharePoint can do - but I also had a great time learning it!"
"The [Bootcamp] really gave me a complete picture of what SharePoint is capable of...The round table discussions at the end of class each day were invaluable. Student hung out after class and we were able to have a free forum Q and A. I realized very quickly that I was not the only one in the room with the same kinds of questions. [Dustin] took the time to really answer our questions so we could go back to our organizations and really make an impact with our SharePoint sites."
"...Thanks for a great week in Seattle. I was very impressed with your class and your style."
"The...Bootcamp was a very well presented, very valuable, very fun 3 days. It's obvious that Dustin knows his stuff and enjoys sharing that information. Certainly one of the best courses I have ever attended."
"I enjoyed the class very much, the atmosphere was great. I also [picked] up some useful information to bring back with me."
"I've never worked so hard at a training before. This Bootcamp provided a wealth of knowledge and practical experience in a fun and challenging environment."
"It was a pleasure to be able to get my questions answered immediately by a SharePoint Expert!"
"Very enlightening. I wish I had taken the course prior to rolling out our [SharePoint sites]."
"Very useful. The 'how-to' sessions helped me get my ideas right into actions."
"Attending the [SharePoint Bootcamp] gave me a better understanding of the product's capabilities and the programming behind each site. With the knowledge gained from Bootcamp, I definitely feel I am in a better position to support my company's SharePoint user community!"
"The SharePoint Experts Bootcamp really filled in the holes of knowledge I had from using [SharePoint] in the fail-fast-forward mind-set. Now I can do things the right way, the first time! Thanks for the great training!"
"The class gives you a great understanding of the mechanics of [SharePoint]....They also give away stuff."
"The Bootcamp provided an excellent forum to discuss the technical aspects of the product in an in depth fashion."
