We’ve Launched the Smarter Drafter Learning Academy

We’ve launched the Smarter Drafter Learning Academy - a self-paced, online learning experience designed to help more people in your firm build and manage automations.

For most firms, automation starts with a small group. Knowledge Management or a central team sets things up, builds the first automations, and proves the value. That foundation is critical. The next step is where the productivity unlock happens.

The unlock: more people building

The Smarter Drafter Learning Academy has been developed to increase the number of people who can build automations within a firm.

• Practice areas don’t need to wait in a queue
• Updates happen faster and stay closer to the source
• Knowledge is maintained by the people who actually use it
• Automation becomes part of how teams work, not a separate function

Knowledge Management sets the standards, structure, and governance. Practice areas then create and maintain automations using Smarter Drafter’s no-code user experience - scaling automation across the firm.

What the Academy delivers

The Academy is designed specifically for Builders and Admins, with practical, hands-on learning you can apply immediately.

• Self-paced, online learning designed for Builders and Admins
• 3–5 hours of content across structured courses
• Step-by-step tutorials you can apply immediately
• Quizzes to reinforce learning and build confidence

This is not theory. It’s practical, step-by-step guidance where team members build automations as they learn.

How it works

• Short, focused lessons: Each lesson covers one concept, using the same terms and steps you see in Smarter Drafter
• Flexible and self-paced: Move through the content when it suits you. Your progress is saved as you go.
• Learn by watching and doing: Follow clear, numbered steps and see the results in your own environment.
• Clear pathways: From getting started through to more advanced automation — based on your role and experience.
• Support when you need it: Each lesson includes links to help resources, sample outputs, and templates. You’re not working things out alone.
