You ll log into a simple Web-conferencing tool and work with a live instructor who will guide you through learning the product. On-site Training On-site training is a great option if you have a number of people to train at your office or are looking for a highly customized experience. We can bring our classes to you, exactly as we teach them in our training centers, or we can customize classes to meet your specific needs. Studies show that people who attempt to learn new software on their own and fail are much less likely to adopt the software later on, whereas early success builds confidence.

All Concordance certifications require that you take our two "fundamentals" classes Concordance Fundamentals and Concordance Administration Fundamentals. If you have prior experience using Concordance and Concordance Image, you can take an online exam that (if you pass) enables you to opt out of the prerequisites. Before taking the LAW PreDiscovery Certified Administrator class, we require that you take and pass the exam for the e-discovery certification.

The instructor made learning Concordance fun and interesting. The instruction format and materials are top notch. I look forward to taking more training from LexisNexis in the future! The class was taught by an extremely impressive and professional trainer. Her knowledge and practical experience was phenomenal. Couldn t recommend her classes highly enough. We had a mixture of tech wiz kids, and "almost" tech wiz kids, in our group and she managed to meet all of our needs.
