Course Overview

The Microsoft course SharePoint 2016 Site Collections and Site Owner Administration (Course Code: 55234-A) is designed for power users, SharePoint site collection administrators, and IT professionals responsible for managing SharePoint environments on-premise, in Office 365, or hybrid deployments. This five-day instructor-led training delivers focused expertise in designing company portal structures using SharePoint 2016 objects such as sites, libraries, lists, and pages. Participants learn to manage permissions, implement governance policies, ensure content consistency, and integrate with Microsoft Office applications. With over 250,000 organizations globally leveraging SharePoint for collaboration, this course equips professionals with mission-critical skills to support enterprise content management and intranet administration.

Students engage with core SharePoint 2016 tools including Document Libraries, Content Types, Managed Metadata, Search Services, Workflows, and Community Sites through hands-on lab exercises conducted in a live SharePoint environment. During these labs, learners build a structured company portal by creating site hierarchies, configuring navigation, applying themes, setting up content approval workflows, and implementing records management features like eDiscovery Centers. A key real-world project involves designing a publishing site with managed metadata navigation and social collaboration tools, enabling users to enhance findability and engagement across departments. These practical scenarios simulate actual administrative tasks performed by site owners in enterprise settings.

While the SharePoint 2016 Site Collections and Site Owner Administration course does not map to a single certification exam, it aligns closely with skills assessed in Microsoft’s broader SharePoint administration certifications, which are recognized across industries for optimizing collaboration platforms. Professionals with SharePoint administration expertise earn median salaries of $85,453 annually, with senior roles exceeding $114,687 depending on experience and location. Koenig Solutions enhances learning outcomes with Guaranteed-to-Run batches, official Microsoft courseware, and access to expert instructors for personalized guidance.
