Mountain View, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/23/2011 -- Clearwell Systems, Inc., a leader in intelligent e–discovery, has significantly expanded the educational breadth of Clearwell University to accommodate broader training for new releases of the Clearwell E-Discovery Platform®, growing customer demand, and support for Clearwell’s international growth into markets in Europe, China, Japan, India and South Africa. The enhanced training programs add greater depth to Clearwell University, which to date has graduated more than 800 Clearwell Certified Administrators (CCAs).

In addition, Clearwell is launching the Training Passport, which offers convenient, online Continuing Clearwell Education and bridge classes for CCAs, and a Masters Class that provides advanced training and certification to handle more complex datasets and demanding projects.

“Being new to the field of legal e-discovery I was quite pleased by the amount of content covered in Clearwell University and the quality of the instructors,” said an employee from GlaxoSmithKline. “The course was delivered in a non-intimidating manner which provided a rich environment for learning Clearwell’s offerings.”

Clearwell University training combines demonstrations, hands-on labs and practical testing to rapidly and effectively educate partners, law firms, enterprises and governmental agencies on advanced use of the Clearwell E-Discovery Platform. Upon completion of courses, attendees are armed with methods and best practices to facilitate repeatable and defensible management of the end-to-end e-discovery process.
