Classroom Training

Receive hands-on training led by one of our Dedicated Software Support Technicians, where each student is provided with their own computer in a classroom setting. We offer SMS Basic, Advanced, Certified and Mobile training sessions.

SMS Basic training is ideal for new users that wish to learn more about how to fully utilize the SMS software, and even existing customers who just want to brush up on their SMS skills. This is a 1-day session.

SMS Advanced training sessions are geared towards our users who are running the SMS Advanced Software and wish to learn more about the powerful batch and analysis tools available only in the SMS Advanced Software. It is recommended to attend an SMS Basic training first if you are new to the SMS Software, even if you purchased SMS Advanced. This is a 1-day session.

SMS Certified training sessions are for our advanced users that have previously attended SMS Basic and SMS Advanced training. This is a 3-day session that is very in-depth and requires users attending to have a very good understanding of the functionality in the software.

SMS Mobile training is approximately 2 hours and will cover all the layout, setup, and 5 different operating modes available in SMS Mobile.
