There is no requirement to use the Support Academy, however we have found this to be the most effective method for learning the software. The support articles in this [knowledge base library](https://support.associationsphere.com/support/solutions) and [video library](https://vimeo.com/showcase/associationsphere) (password: ASOnDemand). These libraries contain the same information as the AssociationSphere Support Academy.

- The benefit of using the Academy is that we have built the training in a logical progression so that you learn the basics first, before proceeding to more advanced information.
- You also can take a few lesson modules and come back later and pick up right where you left off so you can learn at your own pace and keep track of your progress.
- Many of the lesson modules also have quick quizzes so you can check your understanding as you move through the training. If a subject is unclear to you, you can revisit the information as needed.
