Hyperdrive Training

No additional in-person or web-based training is required for the transition.

Hyperdrive Training Companions are located in the “What’s New” section of the Learning Home Dashboard (LHD). Use this Tip Sheet to locate your specific Hyperdrive Training Companion in Symplr.

Epic Hyperdrive will provide a more engaging and secure experience with much quicker response times. Best of all, it won’t look or feel much different than the version you’re using today!
