FAQS

If you have a pre-purchased training pass included in your Onspring platform package or annual training subscription, you may take the Onspring Essentials training class to develop your foundational knowledge of the platform.

Upon completion of Onspring Essentials, you may take any Feature Bootcamp of interest. Each training pass may be assigned to only one person, and the pass is good for a 12-month period aligning with your license term. (Contact your Onspring Account Manager to see if you have passes available.)

If you do not have pre-purchased training passes, you may purchase an a la carte training pass, according to these options:

  • Onspring Essentials + Feature Bootcamps: With this training pass, you may participate in Onspring Essentials training, which includes the Onspring Certified Administrator – Level 1 exam, plus any Feature Bootcamps of interest within a 12-month period.

Essentials + Feature Bootcamps: Multiple classes are hosted throughout the year. Most classes are delivered remotely, and you may participate from the comfort of your home or office.

Onspring Essentials and Feature Bootcamp classes are open only to current clients and partners. Advance registration is required. Participation is limited to ensure a positive experience for all learners, and registration closes when each class is filled.

Free Friday Training: 30-minute micro-learning sessions typically occur one Friday per month. These classes are only open to Onspring clients and partners, and advanced registration is required.

We try to accommodate learners in as many time zones as possible, but we recognize that the live learning sessions may not be convenient for you, or you may have a conflict. All remote learning sessions are recorded for your convenience. As part of your training registration, you will be given access to these recordings for two weeks following the training session, so you can catch up on anything you may have missed.

If your organization does not have available training passes as part of your Onspring license, you may purchase passes a la carte. Simply register for training on the Onspring website and choose your preferred payment method.

Onspring trainers are experienced Onspring administrators from our Services team. Trainers share real examples and practical insights from years of experience delivering Onspring solutions for customers across industries.

The Onspring Essentials and Feature Bootcamp classes are focused on platform configuration. The training is product-neutral, meaning you can apply the skills you develop to any business process or use case. Trainers are adept at demonstrating Onspring functionality within various use cases that interest training participants, making the instruction relevant and meaningful.

If you need end-user training on your specific Onspring implementation, our Professional Services team will be happy to help. End-user training and/or documentation are frequently included in Onspring services engagements. Additionally, we offer end-user guides for our core products, available via the Onspring Community.

You’ll receive a lab guide, featuring a series of hands-on skill labs that guide you through applying the knowledge you learn in class directly to real-world use cases within the Onspring platform.

You’ll need a computer to participate in the learning sessions and hands-on labs. Many participants find an additional monitor and mouse helpful.

Onspring will provide a lab instance where you will perform configuration activities. You will not need to access your company’s Onspring instance during the training class.

Onspring Essentials participants will receive the opportunity to complete the certification exam at the time of their training. Completion of Onspring Essentials training, including 100% completion of the hands-on lab activities, is a prerequisite for certification. See the following for more details: Onspring Certification Program Overview.

Our advice for improving your Onspring administrator skills is two-fold:

Join our regular Free Friday Training Sessions. In each session, you’ll gain insights and advice for Onspring use in different programs and processes, plus administrative education on Onspring platform features.

Join Onspring Connect user events. All customer events are designed to help you improve how you use Onspring. Attend these events to see how other customers build dashboards and processes in Onspring, and ask for their advice on where you may need help or have ideas to develop.

You may cancel your registration for any training class for a full refund up to 7 days before the class begins, if you paid separate from your license. After that point, you may request to transfer your registration to another participant or another scheduled class session. Email training@onspring.com for assistance.
