Description
NEWS FLASH - Please read as of 6/24/2020

You asked for it, and we listened. So now you got it!! We have just updated the course with nearly 3 1/2 hours of NEW videos. Now you can update SCCM to version 1910 or the latest 2002. And much, much more to come!

If you've made it to this page, chances are you're currently at SCCM Noob status (or are at least unfamiliar with the latest version), and you need to upgrade your skills FAST.

You're either:

Already a Windows sysadmin who just had a newly installed SCCM server dropped into your lap, and now you have to figure out how to work it properly

An IT professional who's recently been promoted into a role where "Congrats!" you're now in charge of getting SCCM deployed for your entire organization (even though you have zero experience with it)

Working with a client and an SCCM install is part of your project scope, but you've never done it before

Experienced in SCCM 2012, but your organization has decided to move to a newer version of SCCM, and you need to know what's changed and how the new features work

Or just simply an IT enthusiast looking to add another technical proficiency to your resume

Regardless where you're starting from, the consensus is in:

The worst thing you could POSSIBLY do is jump into an SCCM production environment without understanding how to use it. Hang around sysadmin forums long enough, and you'll hear the horror stories of re-imaging 1,000s of machines incorrectly and burning your business's infrastructure to the ground.

Thankfully, that type of "gloom and doom" is incredibly rare. But the point remains: you need to find some effective SCCM training to get you up to speed before you jump in.

The problem is, most SCCM courses are books do more talking than showing, leaving you with a rough idea of what SCCM can do and how to use it... But mostly just half asleep at your desk, and still confused when you go to actually implement it.

We did something different.

With System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) For Beginners we've built the entire course around establishing a working test lab on your laptop and walking you through a real, functioning ConfigMgr environment.

Our goal is to teach you the fundamentals of SCCM as quickly and painlessly as possible, so that you can walk away from this course with the ability to deploy and administrate SCCM as soon as you're done.

After taking this course you'll be able to:

Install and configure SCCM from the ground up including downloading and installing the latest SCCM, SQL, and all of the necessary server roles and schema

Use the Configuration Manager Console, including managing users, creating boundary groups, and user discovery methods.

Create and push out applications to the Windows PCs on your network to the appropriate users (plus how to monitor whether it's progress and any errors that pop up)

Deploy an Operating System to a machine on your network, without worrying about making an "OMG what did I do?" type mistake

Integrate Endpoint Protection with SCCM to prevent network security threats and keep your users safe

Update Configuration Manager to the latest version.

And overall, administrate the latest version of SCCM like a pro

All with easy-to-follow, high quality videos and downloadable reference PDFs.

No more scrolling through Microsoft forums trying to figure out which features apply to the latest version of SCCM, and which are outdated...

No more trying to decipher the "advanced" language you'll find in SCCM communities online. That stuff may make sense to them, but boy is it rough for beginners...

And no need to attend expensive in-person training or trying to read through dense SCCM books that are filled with vast "wall-of-text" explanations and only a sparse screenshot here or there...

You can work at your own pace, watch us work through each configuration screen and pause where you need to, and you'll have lifetime access to the material once you register.

But don't just take our word for it though. Here's what just a few of our IT students say about our courses:

Plus, in addition to the core course content, you'll also get:

Section follow-up quizzes to test your comprehension. What you'll learn in the course won't "stick" unless you make sure you're not just watching and "thinking," but putting your knowledge to the test. so we built that right into the course itself.

Direct access to the course instructors (Paul and Robert). You can ask questions and discuss the course content and how to deploy SCCM within your specific application.

Continually updated course content. We routinely amend and update the course content in response to your feedback and questions, as well as SCCM updates, so if there's something else you'd like us to cover just ask!

A certificate of completion that you can put on your resume, show to your manager, and join the ranks of the SCCM administrators community... Something that could go a long way towards earning you a promotion and more job security.

So if you're ready to go from SCCM Noob to Expert in short order, you can instantly join the course today.
