The Video Tutors allow an in-depth understanding of the MultiSUITE to be gained quickly and effortlessly. They include more than 200 training movies available either online or on DVD, and new training is being produced all the time and made available to subscribers through this web site.

You can purchase either an online subscription, or choose between the single user "stand alone", or multi-user "network" DVD versions, depending on the size of your organisation and number of users requiring access to the training. We would be pleased to send you a quotation.

Our Demonstration Video shows how the courses are based on capturing the screen and audio commentary together to make all features in our software crystal clear.

The courses will guide you step by step through all the various features with many practice examples, and drawings from live projects.
