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 astem­plate design, doc­u­ment con­ver­sion, trou­bleshoot­ing, and one-on-one train­ing that focuses on your tem­plates and your projects.
