About ONLYOFFICE Academy

ONLYOFFICE Academy is an online platform created to provide high-quality training to customers and partners allowing them to effectively use the full range of editing and collaborative features of ONLYOFFICE Docs and work on text documents, spreadsheets, presentations, fillable forms and PDF files with confidence.

ONLYOFFICE Academy is based on the Moodle platform, and this approach provides the following benefits:

• Direct integration with ONLYOFFICE Docs. Learners can work on documents and learning materials using the ONLYOFFICE editors within the Moodle environment without switching to other apps;
• Centralized course management. Educators can easily create new courses, update and manage the existing ones, organize and keep all learning materials in one place;
• Combination of different course formats. Educators can combine various learning activities, such as pre-recorded video lessons and assignments for self-paced learning, and hold live training sessions to discuss follow-up questions;
• Rich and flexible functionality. Moodle provides educators with different options to track their learners’ progress and assess their knowledge while interactive tools, such as quizzes or questionnaires, make the learning process more engaging and productive for those who learn.

What makes ONLYOFFICE Academy a great choice

ONLYOFFICE Academy is a solution that was born from understanding the key challenges faced by users and teams who would like to master the ONLYOFFICE editors. These include:

• Lack of time. Busy teams and users don’t usually have enough time to read long manuals and attend live sessions lasting many hours;
• Organizational difficulties. Aligning schedules can be a challenge for large teams especially if their members are located in different time zones;
• Diverse learning preferences. Some users prefer self-guided learning for independence and cost-effectiveness, while others value the depth and interaction of expert-led training;
• Fragmented tools. Switching between multiple platforms and applications for learning, collaboration, and practice disrupts the process and affects productivity.

To address the above challenges, ONLYOFFICE Academy offers the following:

• Systematisation. ONLYOFFICE Academy is a centralised hub for all learning resources and tools accessible from various devices;
• Flexibility. All courses are available anytime allowing you to learn at your own pace;
• Accessibility. There are plenty of options ranging from fully guided online sessions with comprehensive mentorship to self-paced learning at affordable prices. Courses are tailored for individuals and large teams alike, with pricing varying across levels to suit different needs and budgets;
• Automation. Automated notifications, assignment grading and certificates simplify the learning process and make it more efficient.

Whether you’re a busy professional, a curious learner, or part of a corporate team, ONLYOFFICE Academy has something tailored just for you. Let’s take a closer look at what you can find on our platform.

Course formats: an overview

Currently, our training focuses on courses at all levels — Basic, Basic+ and Pro — specifically designed for the ONLYOFFICE editors. These courses cover everything from foundational knowledge to advanced skills, ensuring users have a comprehensive understanding of the functionality of each editor:

• Document Editor;
• Spreadsheet Editor;
• Presentation Editor;
• PDF Editor;
• Form Creator.

All courses are available in English but there are also a few courses for German-speaking users.

Basic level

The Basic level is perfect for independent learners. With access to pre-recorded video lessons, interactive quizzes and practical tasks, you can study at your own pace and revisit materials as often as you need. For instance, as an individual user with a busy schedule, you can master ONLYOFFICE Docs step by step without feeling overwhelmed.

Basic+ level

If you are looking to combine independent study with peer interaction and expert guidance, the Basic+ level is the next step. Alongside the features of the Basic level, it provides access to forums where users can ask questions, share insights, and receive feedback from training managers. This collaborative environment not only enhances understanding but also creates a sense of community among learners.

It’s also ideal for companies of all sizes — from small businesses to large enterprises — looking to train their teams collaboratively while benefiting from structured lessons.

Pro level

For those aiming to master the advanced features, the Pro level offers the most comprehensive training experience. It includes live online sessions on Zoom with expert tutors who cover all aspects of the editors, their functionalities and real-world applications. Participants work on assignments in real time, receive personalised feedback and have an opportunity to ask questions directly during the sessions. After the live training, users gain access to additional tests and tasks for independent study, supported by forums for further engagement.

This level is particularly suited for companies seeking to empower their employees with a thorough understanding of the ONLYOFFICE editors, ensuring they can make use of the tools to their fullest potential.

Course structure

Across all levels, the general course structure is designed to maximise your learning experience:

• A simplified registration process ensures easy onboarding for all users;
• Clear, well-structured video lessons make navigation seamless, while automated quiz grading provides instant feedback to reinforce your understanding;
• Practical tasks offer hands-on experience, complemented by interactive forums where you can engage with other learners and experts to deepen your knowledge;
• Upon completion, you’ll receive a professional certificate to validate your expertise and accomplishments.

Plans for the future

ONLYOFFICE Academy is in its early stage. In the future, it will include courses in multiple languages, not only English and German, and cover even more specialised topics, such as mastering ONLYOFFICE DocSpace and integrations.
