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 interface.

If you are attending an in-person training course with Onspring, you’ll need your laptop to participate in the learning sessions and hands-on labs.

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.

Certification is attained by passing an exam that includes platform concept questions along with hands-on configuration challenges.

Onspring Essentials participants will receive the opportunity to complete the exam at the time of their training. Completion of Onspring Essentials training, including 100% completion of the hands-on lab activities, is a prerequisite to take the certification exam going forward.

If you have previously taken Onspring Essentials training or have proven experience as an administrator in the Onspring platform prior to January 2020, you can participate without retaking Onspring Essentials if you wish. If you meet this criteria, you can register for an exam session in the Onspring Community. There is a flat fee to take the exam outside of Onspring Essentials training, which will be charged at the time of the registration. Sign up for an upcoming exam session>

Your exam will be scheduled in a two-week session during which you can move through the questions and configurations at your own pace, saving your progress as you go. If you pass the exam with a score of 80% or better, you’ll earn the Onspring Certified Administrator – Level 1 credential. Additional levels of certification will be announced once they are available.
