Thanks.  Yes, I am wondering if that is just one in a series of upcoming cloud-focused certifications that will add together to something like a "Gold" or "Platinum" certification.

Some of the existing classes/certifications may be nearly the same in both cloud and local, such as "Designing Laserfiche Workflows" or "Records Management".  So, I am wondering if we have staff take those now, would they count toward a future cloud-focused "Gold" or "Platinum" type certification, or should we wait until cloud-focused versions of those classes might come out.

Yes, we are working on a series of upcoming Certification courses that will bundle into Gold, Platinum, and role-based Certifications. 

As you pointed out, some of the content will be very similar in Cloud and Self-hosted. In those cases, we will have one course covering those topics (i.e. Getting Started with Laserfiche), and for others with significant differences, we will have Cloud and 11 specific courses.

If you have staff take the 10 courses now, depending on when the Cloud or self-hosted versions release and the associated content differences, we may count them towards a future Cloud or 11-focused "Gold" or "Platinum" type certification.

On a similar note, in cases where you complete a 10 course and the Cloud or 11 equivalent launches shortly after with significant content changes, we may not provide completion credit towards the new Cloud/11 Certification but may waive the course fee. 

We're hoping to provide more information on the Certification course roadmap in the coming months, with courses launching next year and onwards.
