What Is the CDW Amplified for Education LMS

Our Learning Management System (LMS) platform provides Google Admins with a one-stop shop for certificate courses. Whether looking for self-paced, live, or bundled learning, our LMS offers everything you need to earn your certification.

Getting started with our LMS is easy. In this article, we'll walk you through the key steps to ensure you're set up and ready to go. 

Depending on your learning style and goals, you can use any of the following programs:

• Self-Paced: Learning plans and courses where you have the freedom to progress through the material at your own speed without being constrained by a set schedule or timeframe.
• Live Learning: A knowledgeable and experienced instructor guides you through the material in these sessions. Learners can ask questions, seek clarification, and engage in interactive activities to reinforce their learning.
• Learning Plan Bundles: Bundles offer learners the convenience of purchasing multiple classes simultaneously rather than purchasing each learning plan separately.
