Let’s look at how our training program can help you reach your DAM goals. ## Learning opportunities for every phase of the DAM journey From pre-implementation through site maintenance, we offer training resources to help any user improve their understanding of DAM functionality and strategy. ### Acquia-led training Our online training center, [Acquia Academy](https://www.acquia.com/support/acquia-training-certification), provides access to self-guided learning modules for all user levels. These resources explain Acquia DAM functionality through a curriculum that empowers participants to apply their new knowledge and skills directly to their own DAM site. Each experience is: - **Interactive**. Hands-on activities allow participants to practice using tools and functionality. - **Flexible**. There are resources to help everyone from a new user to an experienced admin. - **On-demand**. Users from every continent and timezone can access instruction when they need it most, 24/7. ### Community-based enrichment [DAM User Groups (DUGs)](https://university.widen.com/page/widen-user-groups) (formerly known as Widen User Groups, or WUGs) are communities of DAM admins and users who gather virtually to share best practices, exchange ideas, and learn how others address similar work challenges. Some DUG meetings focus on a specific topic, such as using site analytics, and others center on a distinct industry. DUG participants develop professional relationships, share expertise, learn from each other, and discuss the unique challenges of managing content. In addition, Acquia DAM admins have access to our online DAM community. This extension of our [Support Center](https://community.widen.com/collective/s/) includes a user forum to ask and answer questions, a learning calendar to see all upcoming DAM events, and an easy way to track support tickets. Together, Acquia Academy, DUGs, and our DAM community provide Acquia DAM users with instruction and inspiration to advance their DAM strategy and help expand their use of the DAM, at every phase of their [DAM maturity](https://www.acquia.com/blog/acquia-dam-brand-management-maturity-model). ## Let's go!
