Online engagement can get complicated, especially when it involves coordinating lots of people in your organisation. Training new staff on your engagement platform can feel like a full-time job in its own right.

To alleviate some of this pressure, this training program aims to support our customer's internal teams to learn Social Pinpoint. This program allows you to learn new skills and build on their community and stakeholder consultation expertise to improve their outcomes!

The program aims to make it easier for administrators to manage the growing complexity and demand for digital engagement while still providing consistent, high-quality training directly from our product specialists.

Since June 2021, we've hosted regular monthly training sessions on Social Pinpoint, opening the doors to everyone in your organisation. That's right; there are no limits to how many sessions you can attend or even how many users you can send along (subject to session limits).

Each year from February to November (10 online sessions per year), our monthly sessions provide multi-disciplinary training across a broad range of topics and digital applications so your teams can learn the front and back-end of the platform, while expanding their expertise with best practice and thought leadership. Session times will vary each month to account for users in different time zones.

The best part is that the training is free for all Premium and Enterprise subscribers*.

If you're not yet a Premium Subscriber, discuss with your CSM about purchasing a Season Pass separately from your subscription or attend individual sessions at a per session rate.

We appreciate all of your feedback as we continue to build upon and refine our training program into the future.
