FileMaker Champion Class
The story...
I've had a long and wonderful career in the FileMaker world. I've done it all. But what I have loved most is TRAINING. I'm very lucky that I've arrived at a point my my career where I get to do only what I want, and that's teach. It makes me happy to pass on what I have learned by study and experience, and constantly reevaluate and update my approach to both development and training.
​
Given all of that, I developed my flagship training course, and that's this champion class. It's a live, personalized, online course designed to elevate your skills with the latest FileMaker features and best practices. In ten weeks, we cover the platform from end to end. It's an interactive class, optimized for retention. ​
