Creator Pro Modeling - Course Description

This class is directed to students new to the use of Creator and those that have had some experience but have not had a chance to learn its effective use. This is a hands-on classroom experience in which all lecture and exercises are directly related to real-world applications of our products. On completing this course, you are immediately productive when stepping back into your working environment.

All instructors for this class are active members of the technical support staff. Our instructors use our products daily for internal and external applications, and offer front line support for our customer base. As a result, our instructors are able to pass on through the classroom the latest in tricks of the trade.
