CiviAcademy: quality video tutorials for CiviCRM
Getting new staff into your CRM usually comes with some real challenges in training:
“There are a ton of features just out of the box; how can we orient them quickly on how it all fits together?”
“We’ve got our own way of using this CRM; how can we train them in our unique standard procedures?”
For that second one, it may be obvious that documenting your own policies and procedures is a worthwhile endeavor, however tempting it may be to put it off.
After all, if there’s nobody else in the world who does this the way you do, then nobody else can help you train new staff on doing it your way.
But for that first one, you might want to check out CiviAcademy, an ongoing series of training videos published by the creators of CiviCRM.
They describe it as:
Bite-sized tutorials to help you maximize CiviCRM.
Easy to understand video tutorials that will take you from an absolute newbie to a CiviNinja in no time!
... high-level, fast-paced instruction designed for users of CiviCRM ... showcasing major features and common customizations.
It’s a growing library of genuinely well-presented short content.
Honestly, even if you’ve been using CiviCRM for years, I’m willing to be there’s something in there that will improve your understanding.
Finally, a special benefit for my existing clietns:
If you’re already a subscriber to any of my services, and you’d like to use CiviAcademy for your team, please email me about getting a 100% lifetime discount for this resource.
(Since Joinery is a CiviAcademy sponsor, I’m able to offer this to you, no strings attached. I really just think it’s a great resource and want to see more people making use of it.)
All the best,
Allen
