Onit Certification: Become Indispensable
Whatever your role, and whether you’re a valued Onit client or partner, attaining formal Onit credentials demonstrates to the world that you have the knowledge and skills to transform business processes using the Onit platform. Our formal certification program provides an easy-to-navigate framework for both securing and quantifying your Onit expertise. The program is comprised of different tracks, each of which contains varying degrees of certification. Pick one (or many) tracks and follow the guides below. Get started today!
Note: We don’t currently offer certification for Onit end-users. Our certification program is currently designed for those who implement Onit systems – both technical developers and project managers/business analysts. If you are interested in Onit end-user training, talk with your Onit implementation team.

Apptitude Track
Powering every Onit solution is the Apptitude platform: the robust business process automation engine upon which everything runs. Whether you’re simplifying a contract management process, building a full-featured e-billing or matter management system, or implementing a custom process, you must learn Apptitude’s many workflow tools and configuration options. The Apptitude certification track takes a vertical-agnostic approach, focusing on the key concepts required to work with Apptitude’s many workflow and metadata management tools. Knowledge gained in this track will form a solid foundation for the other vertical-specific Onit certification tracks.
This certification track contains one lane.
“Apptitude Developer” Lane This is a technical lane, designed for Apptitude Developers who will perform the configuration/development tasks required to build solutions. |

---|---|---|---|
Apptitude Certification Level | Courses | Tests | Other Requirements |
Level 1 | APP-101C | APP-101T | None |
Level 2 | APP-102C | APP-102T | None |
Level 3 | None | None | 1,000 hours of App building on Onit implementations (for any vertical)* |
Level 4 | None | None |

*Implementation hours must be submitted to Onit using a specific format (provided by Onit upon request). Onit’s Certification Team will verify hours against internal records (and in some cases check with the Onit client in question). All hours must be associated with the development of a solution that was ultimately used in a production capacity (pre-sales and “proof of concept” work does not apply).
ELM Track
Built on top of the Apptitude platform, Onit’s Enterprise Legal Management (ELM) product includes a constantly growing array of solutions, from alternative fee arrangements to legal process outsourcing to legal service requests. This track focuses on both understanding the out-of-the-box configuration in Onit’s ELM product and also extending/customizing it to meet any client’s needs.
This certification track contains two separate lanes – select the lane that fits your role.
