All Training Methods are not Created Equal

We believe that our training method is the best available. It's not the cheapest at first glance, but we believe it to be the best value by far. After all, training is about learning. We believe our students learn much more per hour (and per dollar!) than they would learn using traditional FileMaker® Pro training methods.

What's Wrong with "Traditional" Training Methods?

If you attend a traditional classroom training session, you will likely:

1. Pay for travel to their training location, or pay a trainer to travel to your location (expense varies based on distance, gas prices, air fares, etc.)
2. Pay for meals and accommodations for the duration of the training period (often several days) if the training location is not in your area
3. Pay for a block of training time, most of which will not be spent on you personally, but on the class as a whole, and/or other students who have questions
4. Lose valuable work time, sitting around in a hotel room or conference center waiting around for sessions to start
5. Sit in a classroom with 5 to 50 other people
6. Learn some general things about FileMaker, many of which you may already know, many others you don't need or want to know
7. Sit and wait and hope that the instructor touches on something of interest to you
8. Hold up your hand while the instructor gives other students individual attention, hoping a few of your questions will be addressed before you leave
9. Go home with a lot of unanswered questions

If you've been in classroom training sessions in the past, you're probably nodding your head in agreement and cringing at the thought of going through that again. If you haven't, you're probably shaking your head thinking that sounds like something you definitely don't want to do.

There is a Better Way!

Our secrets are simple:

1. Offer online training, saving our clients downtime, travel expense and hassle. We can view and control our clients' computer screens, talking to them on the phone at the same time. It's just like we were standing there, but better. You won't even have to move your hands or hand us your keyboard, and you won't have to pay to have us in your office.
2. Allow our students to choose their own location for training. All they need is a computer connected to the internet and a voice line.
3. Offer training for multiple students simultaneously (thank Al Gore for creating the Internet!)
4. Give our clients the best possible value by teaching them only what they want to know, on an individualized basis. Each training session is personalized to the student, and we only teach what they want and need to learn.
5. We refuse to waste our clients' time! We call at the specified training time, connect to their computers via the internet, and get right to the business at hand. Minimal waiting, maximal learning.
6. We respect our clients' expense accounts! If you're on the line with us, you're improving your skills, not looking at your watch wishing you were learning something.
7. Give our students all of our attention, 100% of the time. No waiting for an instructor to finally get around to your desk.
8. Teach our students valuable, personalized and relevant lessons which they can use to save time and money for their respective companies.
