Why was the "Procore Fundamentals" training course deprecated?

Background

Prior to June 29, 2018, Procore hosted a series of "Procore Fundamentals" training courses on our learning portal, which was accessible via https://learn.procore.com and https://education.procore.com. Upon successful completion of the self-paced training course, learners received a "Procore Certification: Associate" certificate. 

Answer

On June 29, 2018, the "Procore Fundamentals" course will be deprecated from Procore's learning portal (https://learn.procore.com) and will no longer be available. 

Based on feedback from our community, users prefer role-based Procore Certification courses that better align with a user's specific role and responsibilities on the worksite. Although the "Procore Fundamentals" course contained many training videos that applied to a Project Manager, it also contained training videos on tasks that were more relevant to Site Managers or Subcontractors. Additionally, since a user might not have access to all tools within the Procore platform, we wanted to give learners a more product-specific user experience.

As a replacement for the "Procore Fundamentals" course, we developed a series of certification courses for Project Managers, segmented by the various product lines (e.g. Project Management, Quality & Safety, etc.). If you completed the "Procore Fundamentals" course in the past, we encourage you to refresh your Procore training by  completing the updated training courses that are relevant for you.
