“I had no idea what automation was, and today I manage digital teams.”

The first time I heard about monday.com, I was working as a chef.

Automation sounded like something only programmers in tech companies do. CRM? Workflow? It all felt like a foreign language.

Today, I manage monday.com projects, teach others how to set up functional systems, and work with clients across various industries – from hospitality to education.

It all started with a single course. And one decision – to give it a try.

This article is for you – if you feel you’re capable of more and ready to step into the digital world but don’t know where to begin.

What is the monday.com Academy?

The monday.com Academy is the official training program provided by the monday.com team, delivered through the Lessonly by Seismic platform.

monday.com is a powerful tool that helps teams work smarter, faster, and with less stress.

It’s used for:

• Work Management – tasks, deadlines, and team collaboration
• CRM – customer relationships and sales processes
• Dev – software development and bug tracking
• Service – customer support and ticketing

All of this in one visual, customizable, and user-friendly interface. And best of all – everything can be automated.

This isn’t “just another online course.” It’s a structured process where you:

• go through interactive lessons
• learn through real-world tasks and scenarios
• complete quizzes and assignments
• earn certificates that prove your knowledge
• receive team feedback, support, and access to our Slack community

Beyond certificates, you’ll find advanced topics like the MEDDIPICC methodology, webinars, video training, and real implementation examples.

The certificates are usually paid – but through GoThrive, all basic modules and lessons are free.

What does learning look like?

• Access to the Lessonly platform

Already in the first few lessons, you’ll learn how to automate basic tasks – for example, automatically turn a new inquiry into a task without it getting lost in your inbox.

You don’t have to complete everything – focus on what matters to you: CRM, Work Management, or something else. We give you the access – you choose your pace and direction.

What happens after certification?

This is where most programs end – but ours is just getting started.

• After completing your training, you can choose the path that suits you best.

Or do both – as a true monday.com expert.
