Some statements from participants:
"What I like best about these sessions is having access to your excellent
training without having to wait for you to come to town, the ability to fit
the sessions into a busy schedule, the convenience, and the low cost." --
Maureen Costantino, Production Manager
"This is top-drawer information
at bargain-basement prices. The sessions are free of filler; they're generously
populated with things I never knew and things I had forgotten. I'm looking
forward to more session topics!" -- Douglas Cuff, Technical Writer
"Thank
you very much for this tutorial -- even an old dog (15 years of FM) can learn
new tricks from you!" -- Klaus Daube
"I picked up new skills
that have already proven to be valuable in my day-to-day work. I look forward
to the next series!" -- Karen Haley, Sr. Technical Communication Specialist

Video-training
Adobe Deutschland stellt verschiedene videos zur verfügung - allerdings sind etliche davon in Englisch.
Markus Bollenbach erstellte eine DVD mit insgesamt 9h video schulung. Die
einzelnen abschnitte können individuell angesprungen oder nacheinander angesehen
werden:
Aus dem klappentext: «Nach einer einführung in die oberfläche und darstellungsoptionen
steigen Sie über die dokumententwicklung und die absatz- und zeichenformate tiefer
in die arbeit mit texten, tabellen und bildern ein. Sie lernen den umgang mit buchdateien
und den automatischen verzeichnissen für inhalte, stichworte oder abbildungen. Egal
ob Sie PDF-dateien schreiben, direkt drucken oder die daten in HTML-form weitergeben –
Sie sind für alle Situationen gerüstet! Ein wesentlicher teil des trainings widmet
sich dem strukturierten arbeiten mit FrameMaker 8 und umfasst neben EDDs auch die nutzung
von DITA.»
