A thoroughly enjoyable class- strange thing to say about a very technical training course! EDI is an area where most staff find themselves "thrown into" with little to no knowledge. It is a very intimidating and frustrating situation to be in. EDI academy understood this need for educating industries who use these transactions and broke elements down in a way that was specific to our industries focus and helped us understand REAL situations that occur. From the knowledge base, to the thoughtful interactions and engagement of our questions and concerns; this course was a top notch and I would highly recommend!

EDI in health care is still an underutilized resource in the medical community. Its potential for increased efficiency, transparency, and cost control is currently receiving a great deal of attention. Any interested party in the health care arena who does not become proficient will rapidly lose market share and become obsolete.

Yvonne Clevenger
Sales Order Processing / EDI Manager, T3 Micro Inc.
This class was extremely helpful. As our company does not really have anyone with in-depth knowledge in regard to EDI it was great to finally be able to understand the data I had been struggling to understand on my own for years. Even though we use a 3rd party EDI provider I realized it is important to still understand how to interpret the raw data being sent to us. I highly recommend this course for any company using EDI even if they are not mapping in house.

I have attended many classes, and have had other coworkers attend them as well. Always top notch.
Jesseika Boyer
Logistics & Operations Coordinator, Amoena USA Corporation
I am happy I found EDI Academy. It was so difficult to find an EDI program where i could receive a certification for my current role in EDI. Their website is user friendly and very detailed. It has detailed information about the EDI courses offered. Michael is very knowledgeable & professional in EDI which helped a lot. The class material he provided was so easy to read and understand. Its broken down so simple that even someone who's never seen EDI would understand it ;). He made sure we understood the material before he moved on.

Michelle Gear
EDI Support, Experian Health
I started the class with a very "birdseye" view of EDI, I knew what the different messages were for and how to find the information I was looking for but not what they were named or how they were important. After the class I am now able to speak better as to where the information in the message is, what it is for, and why it is important.
Jennifer Milligan

I come from Supply Chain EDI. I can see the similarities between the structure of the documents and the vast differences in content and loops. Healthcare has its own set of terms: subscriber, provider, payer, ICD10, TR3, companion guide. It's a strange new world out there! I would recommend this class for anyone thinking of transitioning from Supply to Healthcare!
Tanya Williams
Lead Technical System Analyst, CareFirst BlueCross
Overall the class was an eye opener. It revealed that the edi file is standardized enough that it is transportable from one industry to another (Healthcare to Retail, etc.). The class puts the information into 'human' aspects to enforce the fact that this is simple communication at it's best when it comes to electronic data. It also helps to eliinate' the fear / intimidation that you can get when starting to work with these types of files. In addition, it assures you that active involvement with the files will support better understanding as you gain experience in looking at the files.

This is an excellent course for individuals who will support EDI in their companies as well as individuals who want more information on how EDI can support their company’s data exchanges with their Trading Partners. It gave a nice high level overview of the types of documents such as Invoices, Purchase Orders, Payments, and HR data that can be quickly transacted with confirmation of receipt and notification of errors.It would be very beneficial for AR, AP, HR and Sales staff who want to understand the benefits and short falls of processing of electronic data through EDI.

Michael made everyone feel comfortable to the point where you WANTED to ask more questions. Each question answered added that much more to the learning experience. The mini-quiz on mapping is a fun way to quickly apply what you learned during the seminar.

Michael explained the EDI process clearly, he taught the class in a way that made it easy for me to understand. My intimidation of learning segments disappeared in the first hour of the class. I left the class confident of fully understanding what I came to learn.

The two day training course "EDI fundamentals and Best Practices" was a comprehensive course that solidified the EDI day to day responsibilities that I am responsible for in my organization. The instructor was very knowledgeable and very comfortable with the subject of EDI. He was able to answer all of my questions and most specifically was able to relate to my questions from a business perspective standpoint.I really appreciated the business knowledge, SAP knowledge and how the instructor was able to tie it all together so that it was very understandable. I feel very fortunate to have found this training in an online search. It was exactly what I had hoped for in an EDI class.
