Two Upcoming EDI Academy Webinar Series You Don’t Want to Miss
If EDI training has been sitting on your “eventually” list, October and November 2026 are worth circling on the calendar. EDI Academy is running two live, instructor-led webinar bundles this fall — one built for general supply chain and retail EDI, the other built specifically for Health Care (HIPAA) EDI, and both lead to CEDIAP® certification for anyone who completes the full six-session series.
Why These Sessions Are Different From a Recorded Course
Every EDI Academy webinar is live, not pre-recorded, which matters more than it sounds. You’re not clicking through slides in isolation — you’re in a session where the instructor engages attendees to talk through their own EDI experiences, works through mapping exercises in real time, and answers the specific “why does my trading partner do it this way” questions that generic documentation never covers. EDI Academy is also positioned as software-agnostic, so the training applies whether your organization runs Sterling, TrueCommerce, SPS Commerce, or something homegrown — the fundamentals and mapping logic transfer regardless of platform.
EDI Fundamentals and Best Practices — General Track
This track is built for anyone touching EDI across retail, supply chain, manufacturing, finance, transportation, or logistics. Across six 90-minute live webinars, the course moves from a foundational overview of what EDI is and why it exists, into an in-depth look at the technology itself, and then into hands-on mapping of X12 transactions. Expect mapping exercises rather than passive lecture — the kind of practical, segment-level walkthroughs that let you go back to your desk and actually apply what you learned.
Upcoming dates:
- October 6–15, 2026
- November 3–19, 2026
Health Care (HIPAA) EDI Training — Fundamentals and Best Practices
For anyone working with health care EDI (payers, providers, clearinghouses, hospitals, or health tech vendors) this track goes deep on all nine Health Care EDI transaction sets, including the 837 (Professional, Institutional, and Dental), 835, 270/271, 834, 278, 999, and 277CA. Every segment and element across all nine transactions gets analyzed and explained, with mapping exercises built specifically around the 837p, 837i, 837d, 270-271, 278, and 835. Each transaction also gets a dedicated implementation best-practices discussion — what tends to go right, what tends to go wrong, and how to avoid the pitfalls before they show up in production. Instructors typically bring 15+ years of health care EDI experience from roles at insurance companies, hospitals, and clearinghouses, so the guidance reflects what actually happens inside payer and provider EDI operations, not just spec-sheet theory.
Upcoming dates:
- October 6–15, 2026
- November 3–19, 2026
What You Walk Away With
Complete all six webinars in either track and you become a Certified EDI Professional through EDI Academy’s CEDIAP® credential — a way to formalize what you’ve learned and signal it to your team or employer. Both bundles run as 90-minute daily sessions, and registering for the full bundle saves 15% compared to booking the six individual webinars separately.
Seats are capped for a reason — the live, discussion-driven format only works if the instructor can actually engage with attendees, which is a big part of why past participants (from organizations like Amazon Business, Procter & Gamble, Bridgestone Americas, and UnitedHealth Group’s Optum) consistently point to the real-world case studies and mapping exercises as the most useful part of the course. Early registration pricing is available ahead of each session’s cutoff date, so if either track fits your team’s needs, it’s worth locking in a seat before the bundle price goes up.
Whether you’re new to EDI or you’ve been mapping 850s and 837s for years, these fall sessions are a solid opportunity to close knowledge gaps, pick up transactions your team isn’t using yet, and walk away with a credential that backs it up.
