About the Course
This course is part of the ‘Synology Intensive Training’ programme. In this course, you will discover the wide range of Synology productivity and collaboration tools. The course is highly focused on business scenarios and addresses not only administrators, but also business users of Synology's collaboration and productivity tools. By successfully passing the online certification test after the training, you will earn the official ‘Synology Collaboration Architect’ certification.
With many hands-on exercises, you will learn how to use Synology Drive to synchronise your organisation’s data across multiple clients and sites. You will explore key technologies and configuration options. We will demonstrate how to further optimise cross-site data synchronisation using a combination of Synology Drive, Drive ShareSync, and HybridShare. You will also learn how to securely share documents with users outside your organisation. Where traditional sync tools like Synology Drive reach their limits, Synology Office comes into play. The course includes hands-on parts where you can test collaborative real-time editing of documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. You will also be introduced to Synology Chat, which enables both internal communication and interaction with external guest users. The course concludes with a brief overview of Synology Note Station, Synology Contacts, and Synology Calendar.

How does the whole thing work?
This is a hands-on training with plenty of practical exercises conducted directly on the actual devices. During the live session, you will have remote access to a fully featured virtual desktop, from which you can connect to our hardware lab. This allows you to easily follow along with our demonstrations and hands-on exercises. For more extensive exercises, we will split into small teams, where you can collaborate via desktop sharing, observe each other’s work, and support one another. These sessions also provide a great opportunity to exchange knowledge with other business users and Synology partners. Of course, your trainer will be available throughout the entire live session to assist you whenever needed. .

Notes on the certification exam |
|
| Certification: | The exam can be taken online immediately after the event. You will have several days to complete it. Our trainers will explain the procedure and requirements in detail. All training materials may be used. Upon passing the exam, you can download your certificate immediately. Additionally, you will receive access to a logo that you can use to showcase your certification, e.g., in email signatures or on social media. |
| Recertification | Please note that the certificate typically has a limited validity, meaning you will need to undergo recertification at regular intervals (e.g., after two years). To facilitate this, we offer compact workshops where you will be informed about the most important updates. Further details about certification and the partner program can be obtained directly from the manufacturer. |
