FrameMaker Training

Beyond Print offers dynamic on-site custom FrameMaker training. By providing your staff with customized on-site training, your staff will be able to use FrameMaker more efficiently and effectively. We can either review your existing templates and offer suggestions or develop custom templates that will streamline your writing and publishing process.

We offer quality training, provide tips on how to use FrameMaker better, point out work-arounds, and emphasize using the tool the way it was designed to be used. Our years of hands-on experience combined with solid instructional techniques ensure a memorable training experience. Check out what our clients are saying.

We have two standard courses for you to choose from. We offer a beginning FrameMaker training course, and an Advanced FrameMaker Training course. We also can custom design a course for your needs.

In addition to the topics listed below, we can further customize a course to suit your needs, or provide FrameMaker-related services such as template design, document conversion, troubleshooting, and one-on-one training that focuses on your templates and your projects.
