Accessing Alchemer University
To access Alchemer University, first login to the Alchemer application. Go to app.alchemer.com to access your specific data center of Alchemer (US, CA, or EU) and provide your login information.
Once logged into your Alchemer account, on the left hand navigation menu select AU University. This brings you to the AU university homepage:
When AU University is clicked, a new tab will open in your browser, bringing you to Alchemer University where you can access the Catalog, My Training Section, as well as Reports.
Programs and Courses
The Catalog section provides a group of content known as Programs where Alchemer users can sign up and enroll in learning content to enhance their Alchemer knowledge. Programs contain courses and lessons that cover specific areas of the application. Within each course there are learning materials to help users learn Alchemer, as well as short quizzes to ensure the information provided was retained.
The Catalog dropdown menu will display all available programs a user can register for, as well as previously completed Programs. If you see any that you would like to sign up for, select Register. Once Programs have been registered for, they will display under the My Training dropdown menu.
The My Training dropdown shows learning materials that the user has registered for, has completed, or is in progress to complete.
Once programs have been added by the learner by registering from the Catalog, they will then display under My Programs on the My Training page.
The My Programs section displays programs that a learner is currently enrolled in. Selecting Start or Continue will bring the learner to the Program Home:
On the Program home page you will see all Required Courses. Select Start or Register to begin each course. If the course has been started, it will show a continue button, and if a course has been finished, the button will read as completed:
Selecting the Description Tab will display an overview of what will be covered in the selected Program.
Once a course has been registered for, clicking each course will bring you to the Course Materials tab. This tab shows the description of the course, the course lessons necessary for the completion, and the overall progress made.
Several materials make up each course. Click on each module to begin. The materials, when clicked, will launch a new tab in your browser. As a learner completes materials, they will be marked with a green check box as seen above.
Within each module, please follow the on-screen instructions for your course progress to be recorded. Once a module has been completed, you will need to select the “x” button in the tab in order for your progress to be recorded and be taken back to the Program Home Page.
Some courses contain links that will give users a chance to "Try It" walking the user step-by-step through Alchemer and the concept or feature the course outlines. When selecting the "Try It" link, be sure that you are selecting the correct data center that you are logged in to.

- If your Alchemer login URL starts with "appca.” then select the “CA Data Center” link
- If your Alchemer login URL ends in ".eu” then select the “EU Data Center” link
"Try It" materials give AU University users the chance to practice what is in the lesson directly in Alchemer.
When "Try It" materials are accessed, instructions will be displayed in the learner's Alchemer account, walking the learner through the feature that each course covers with written instruction and highlighted areas of the application.
Once all materials in the course have been completed, you will see the progress bar on the Course Material Tab read 100%, and the course will be marked as Completed on the Program Required Courses Page.
