Onit Certification: Become Indispensable

App Builder Track

The App Builder platform is the robust business process automation solution that powers every Onit solution. In-depth knowledge of App Builder ’s many workflows and configuration options is vital for success, whether you’re simplifying a contract management process, building a full-featured e-billing or matter management system, or implementing a custom process.

The App Builder certification track takes a vertical-agnostic approach, focusing on the key concepts required to work with App Builder’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.

App Builder Lane
This is a technical lane, designed for Apptitude Developers who will perform the configuration/development tasks required to build solutions.
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
  • 2,000 hours of App building on Onit implementations (for any vertical)*
  • An existing Level 4 certificate holder must nominate you

*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 App Builder 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.

  • Can take the test whenever and wherever they like (a testing center is not required)
  • Must achieve a grade of 70% or higher on the test
  • May re-take a failed test as many times as necessary (though only once per 24-hour period)
  • Will have one hour to complete a test after starting
  • Will be presented with a randomly selected set of questions and answers during each test taking session
  • Will receive a follow-up email from Onit upon passing a test
