The Fellowship One Certification program was designed to measure Fellowship One product knowledge through a series of assessment tests and projects. Fellowship One users may choose one of two certification paths: Classroom or Online Certification.
Being Champion Certified ensures a user has a complete, extensive understanding of Fellowship One. To gain Champion Certified status, a user must excel at each of the five certification tracks listed above through a series of assessment tests and projects that mimic real-world scenarios.
Champion Certification is $1,099 for classroom training and $650 for online and includes all five certification assessments and end-to-end projects. Being Fellowship One Certified confirms a user’s product knowledge to themselves, their church, peers and to Fellowship Technologies. In addition, there are several tangible benefits reserved specifically for certified users. See Benefits for a complete listing.
This method for certification is a combination of self-paced and instructor-led. You will complete assignments and study videos and online documentation. Together, in 10 hours of webinar instruction (over the course of two weeks), we will complete end-to-end projects using appropriate features and functions in Fellowship One.
This course is intended for on-site students who are enrolled in the Fellowship One Accounting Champion Training due to the intense nature of this course and lecture teaching offered.
