On-site / Custom Training

Compared to classroom-based training, our on-site option may provide a significant time- and cost-effective alternative. Typical cost break-even is 3 to 5 students, and the convenience and time savings are invaluable for most organizations. This approach is feasible if you have a training room or suitable conference room and if each student has a computer with the necessary software installed (FileMaker Pro 10 Advanced recommended).

One other key advantage to on-site training is that we are able to customize the agenda and content to match your training objectives, and perhaps even use your own databases in the demonstrations and exercises (we'll need additional prep time for this option). The cost to send a FileMaker instructor to your site consists of a daily rate plus travel expenses. Locations within 50 miles of our Redwood City office are exempt from any travel expenses.
