Do you need in-person or is remote training ok? Two organizations I can suggest for remote training are Frontrunner from Toronto & Roundpeg in San Diego. You might also look at Matt Sullivan – he did write the book, you know.

Thanks, Jeff!

Yes, remote classes seem to be more common for Fm these days.

I run both online and in-person classes for roundpeg (Pacific time zone, in Newport Beach CA).

Thank you.  Here is my situation:

In the mid 1990s I trained in electronic prepress and by mid 2000 I had worked for a number of service bureaus when the field downsized, leaving me with few opportunities and a lot of competition.  In 2004 I moved away from the NYC area to where even fewer opportunities existed.  Since I have been here, recruiters have contacted me every year or two about a position that requires proficiency in MS Word and Adobe FrameMaker.  I had never trained in FrameMaker because it was rarely required in any of the places I worked and in fact the only customer I can recall using it withdrew the order after we had difficulty processing the job.

I am currently between jobs and have already been approached about the aforementioned job earlier this year.  It has been recommended that I train in Word and FrameMaker so that I will be prepared next time.  Finding inexpensive local classes in Word won't be a problem.  However FrameMaker does not seem to be within my current budget without financial aid.  What are my options?

Sincerest Thanks,
