NO_VAR_Platinum170x100   NetObjects Fusion Training Courses

NF7_3Dbox_smallOur Philosophy

AUDIO Images developed the Official NetObjects Fusion Training Courses for Fusion 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0.  We are a NetObjects Platinum Authorized Training Center and we teach the "authorized" NetObjects courses with our own set of tips and tricks. We will also introduce you to many of the other tools that we recommend to help you build your NetObjects Fusion website.  We are experts with the NetObjects products because we have helped hundreds of people learn how to use the NetObjects tools and have worked with them in the "real world".  We bring that experience with us into the classroom.  When you take a class at AUDIO Images, we focus on three main areas:

  • CONCEPTS: We want you to learn how to use the NetObjects products.
  • PRODUCTIVITY: We want to show you how to use the tools efficiently and we will share all of our shortcuts including additional tips and tricks beyond the training materials.
  • DESIGN: Using NetObjects Fusion, you will now become a web designer and we want you to start thinking about design and how it relates to the web.

NetObjects Fusion 7 Training consists of two classes - Day One and Day Two.  Each class includes a series of hands-on exercises that demonstrates the features and concepts of NetObjects Fusion 7.  A workbook is used for each class that has every step documented with explanations of the features.  The classes can be taken individually or in series.
