How can I get the most out of StrataJazz Certification?

Strata recommends attending StrataJazz certification classes after you have started your implementation. Having some basic exposure to the StrataJazz platform before you attend class will improve your class experience. The implementation process includes training from your consultant that is tailored to your organization’s specific needs and builds on the fundamentals covered in certification.  

You may also choose to attend certification class after your organization has completed implementation as a refresher on key administrative tasks and workflows or as part of your onboarding as a new StrataJazz administrator.
