BlackLine Training

  • Online training
Trainings are available for all topics on the BlackLine U portal. These were incredibly helpful when first starting with BlackLine to get the hang of it. Trainings are useful for any module. I have personally used this to teach myself how to use the tasks and variance modules, which are now fully utilized by my organization. The support team is also very helpful in training our team on anything additional we have needed.

BlackLine Support

The team has always responded to my questions in less than 24 hours with an appropriate answer.

Using BlackLine

Easy to use, and any time a new team member is hired it takes only one training session for them to become masters in the software.
