Crystal On-Site Visits
On-site training can include seminar-style presentations for
the entire staff or small groups, and/or "over-the-shoulder"
guidance using your own FIMS database. On-site training can
be tailored to your organization's needs and to address specific
issues that you have at your organization.
Crystal Online Training
NPO provides two types of live, online training: individualized
training that focuses on the needs at a specific foundation,
and online classroom training that allows several foundations
to participate in a remote Crystal Reports training session.
Both allow foundations to receive instruction without ever
leaving the office.
With our individualized online training, NPO instructors use
remote-connectivity software to connect to your computer via
modem or the Internet and teach staff over the phone using
a copy of your real data in the Test and Learn Database. With
a speaker phone, two or three people may participate. Training
is tailored to the needs of the individual and arranged in
discrete blocks of time to minimize the disruption of the
regular work schedule.
Our
online classroom training employs WebEx, an interactive, online
meeting center that allows several customer sites to attend
FIMS sessions at one time. All participants view Crystal Reports
on the trainer's workstation and are connected via telephone.
Our
online class
schedule is now available.
