Education / Basic Training
Basic Training will teach you the fundamentals you need in order to use the Convertabase tool set.
This training will give you a basic understanding of how to use the Package Builder. These basics only teach you a small portion of this tool's capability. Not everything that you may want to do can be done from the web. Some things must be done behind a firewall, run on a server, or cannot practically be done from a web browser. Convertabase has tools for these purposes as well; however we will stick to the Package Builder tool for the bulk of the training because that is available over the web. Please feel free to contact us with questions about our other tools.
Basic training will utilize TEXT, pictures, and Web-based movies. To view these movies you will need to have the latest version of the flash player installed. It can be obtained here.
Advanced training and on-site training are available, but are not free.
