OnBase Online Training and Certifications [1]
As an OnBase user at CU, you have access to over 200 hours of online training at no cost through our "premium subscription" with Hyland Software. You can access these OnBase training anytime, anywhere. You can take as many of the courses as interest you or just view a module within a course as a refresher - it's completely up to you.
Note: Trainings and certification courses led by a Hyland instructor do have costs associated with them. If you enroll in one of these trainings, funding must come from your department. One certification training (topic varies) is typically offered through UIS each year; please contact the ECS team for information on availability and scheduling.

Consider OnBase Certifications [28].
Hyland offers a variety of certifications, such as OnBase Certified System Administrator (OCSA) [29] and OnBase Certified Workflow Administrator (OCWA) [30]. These do have a cost associated with them as they are instructor-led.
In order for your department to independently configure OnBase document types, forms, and/or Workflow, a member of your department will need to complete the System Administrator and Workflow certifications.
