Training Overview

NPO offers comprehensive training for the Foundation Information Management System (FIMS), FoundationPower and Crystal Reports. FIMS clients may receive training in their offices from an NPO staffer either onsite or via modem. In addition, NPO offers several basic and advanced regional trainings across the country every year. FoundationPower clients consult with NPO individually regarding training since each system is customized.
