Version Now One of our biggest commitments is ensuring that our training content is always kept up to date as Google adds improvements. Ensuring that instructions stay fresh and accurate is key to having a successful transition to Google Apps, and to ensure that your employees are made aware of improvements to Google Apps so they can benefit from enhanced functionality.
Here is a breakdown of our "Version Now" approach, along with a change log that shows just how serious we really are about this. No other training solution, webinar, instructor led, or eLearning solution can compare.
Philosophy: Training and awareness is required to ensure users benefit from Google Apps as it evolves.
Mission:
To provide training on Version Now within 15 business days of significant changes to the scheduled release track. Learn more about the different release tracks.
Policy:
We will update all IT Admins with an active subscription of Google Apps Training from Boost eLearning, training decision makers, and Boost eLearning Authorized Partners, of the changes that have occurred in Google Apps and how those changes are reflected in Google Apps Training from Boost eLearning. Significant developments will be updated in the lessons. Minor improvements will be included in the “Tips for Gmail/Calendar/Docs/Sites”, located in the Tools section of the course.
