acadami USA, the transaction document educators, announced today that our first US Transaction Document Specialist School for calendar year 2012 will be held in the Chicago area the week of June 25, 2012. Classes have been ongoing since the beginning of 2012 in Canada and in Europe.

Each graduate qualifies for acadami’s Transaction Document Specialist Certificate. In addition, Transaction Document Specialists are eligible for consideration to receive Xplor Electronic Document Associate (EDA) designation.

Students produce higher quality work product in a shorter amount of time, and help to reduce costs and risk in the areas of data security, compliance, and customer satisfaction. Registration is now open and a specific location for the class  is forthcoming.

Feedback from our students and their managers has been extremely positive:

“The course material, and the way it was presented, was excellent. It would be impossible to teach my team this amount of relevant information internally. In short, this is a must for all my staff.”
VP Document Services, WW Financial Institution

“My people now develop more cost-effective solutions, make fewer mistakes, and take less supervision. The cost of training is trivial compared to the cost of inadequately trained staff.”
Development VP, Large Mail Service Provider

“Our reps provide much better support after graduating from the acadami program. Senior technical employees keep informed of new industry trends and developments via these courses. I recommend this program for any customer-facing or technically-focused staff.”
General Manager, Large Service Bureau

Transaction Document Specialist School
The acadami TDS School is an intensive five-day training program consisting of three Xplor-certified in-class courses and online webinars that cover the breadth of the transaction document production process.

Students must achieve 85% on three exams during the week to graduate and earn the acadami Transaction Document Specialist certificate. “With the TDS School option, industry personnel learn the concepts, interconnections, correct vocabulary, and best practices in just one week – topped off by a certificate that is available only to School graduates,” said William J. ‘Bill’ McCalpin, acadami registrar and co-founder. “Not only do acadami courses enable newer industry members to learn transaction document production workflow, but existing EDPs can earn recertification credits,” says Bill Broddy, former EDP Commissioner and acadami co-founder. “Xplor certified courses from acadami  fulfill a critical need for continuing education and professional development.”
