Who is this course for?
This course is for anyone developing onboarding content who wants to:
- Learn how to onboard users in an effective and efficient way.
- See practical, real-world examples.
Cherryleaf’s elearning course on content for user onboarding gives you the foundations for onboarding new customers in an effective way.
The course includes onboarding exercises on a sample application for you to complete and review.

Onboarding new users is something that many organisations need to do, but very few have had any formal training in how to do it. Sometimes, the result is that the information can be unclear and not fit its purpose. Creating them can also take a lot of time, especially if they need to be changed frequently.
What will I learn?
- The different ways to guide users – and when to use them
- How to set your goals for onboarding
- Understanding and mapping the user journey
- How to prioritise the key onboarding actions
- How to write clearly, even if writing doesn’t come naturally
- Confidence in the work you produce
