Certification types

Our certification program offers varying levels of certifications based on the consulting partner’s desired objectives for their business and resources.
Role-based certification

Role-based certifications are awarded to individual partner resources who have completed the required product and/or technical training for their intended role(s).  These certifications represent a higher level of investment and a more broad product training and knowledge transfer experience than those seeking a specific Product Specialists Certification for a given product or module.

- Business Analyst

- System Administrator (application or modules)

- Configuration Specialist (Passport only) 
- Report Developer

- Application Developer (Passport only)

Individual product specialist certifications

Product Specialist certifications are for individual partner resources who choose to focus on key products, modules, or applications of our Passport or TyMetrix 360° solutions. Each Product Specialist Certification can range from Levels 1-3 and is based on varying degrees of learning and expertise working with the product.

Implementation certification

An Overall Implementation Certification is awarded to a consulting partner organization who has demonstrated the ability to partner with Wolters Kluwer to implement our Passport and/or TyMetrix 360° solutions. These certifications recognize a partner’s experience on previous implementations and their investment in the certification program.

Implementation "Plus" certification

The “Plus” designation for our Overall Implementation Certification is awarded to consulting partners who have the ability to perform the technical aspects of a Passport implementation. This includes skillsets such as system configuration, application development, integration development, data migration, and deployment management leveraging Wolters Kluwer for support.

Assessments

As a Wolters Kluwer consulting partner, we believe your experience and existing expertise should be recognized. Before beginning the training program, we will meet with you to assess your overall business goals, capture your expertise and existing skill sets, and prescribe the best and quickest path to your desired certification levels.

Dates for courses, course types, assigned testing, and options for advancement will all be determined through these assessments.

Training

In-person or virtual instructor-led training on our enterprise legal management solutions will include deep product tracks on Passport and TyMetrix 360⁰ and their application(s) and modules. The second and third phases of the training programs will include additional product tracks, technical and coding courses, and implementation and best practices.

A written, lab-based, or participation exam will be included to ensure you have acquired the necessary skills to progress through the levels.

Additional levels of certification can be reached through on-the-job experience. Each role-based certification level varies and is based on the amount of time and expertise gained through the experience working on active client projects.
