Changes to the Laserfiche Certification Program!
In the past, you had to purchase an entire Certification curriculum up front in order to access the training content and assessment. With this new update, you can access “Recommended Training” to prepare for a Certification for FREE and can purchase the cost-associated “Certification Assessment” separately. This change is based on user feedback and will enable learners to access Certification training content for free and pay for the assessment separately. Please note you still need to pass a Certification assessment to earn your Certificate and Badge. Watch this video to learn more about these updates.
Laserfiche has also added new subjects to help find the content you need, including subjects based on what version of Laserfiche you’re working from and Free/Cost-Associated. Questions about this change? Email Laserfiche at [email protected]!
