Learn about your MobileCause account to make the most of it and earn certification!
The MobileCause Fundamentals series of live training sessions take you through the most common usage of a MobileCause account, through four different sessions throughout the week.
The MobileCause Intermediate series of live training sessions build on the Fundamentals with four additional sessions throughout the week, so you can make the most out of your MobileCause account.
Wednesdays are reserved for non-certificate classes including strategy sessions, Q&A, and showing the latest features.
After every session, you can take a quick quiz to challenge your skills. If you attend the four classes in either series (or watch the recorded versions), and pass all four associated quizzes, we will send you a Certificate of completion in your email and you can call yourself a MobileCause Professional.
Note: You will need to complete all four parts in the series within one year of completing the first quiz. Since the MobileCause application is continually changing, your getting certified within a year means you are current in your knowledge and can maximize your MobileCause account.
