Seeking Advice on Adobe Training Partners

[_Belynda_]

I had this posted somewhere else, but was told this would be a better place for it......

I'm fairly new to using the Technical Communications Suite and am considering taking some classes for FrameMaker 8 and RoboHelp 7. The companies that I'm considering are: Lodestone Digital and Sterling Ledet & Assocaies.

I've tried some of the online tutorials, but they're not helping as much as I'd like.

I'm hoping that at least a few of you may have knowledge of either and/or both of these companies and wouldn't mind sharing your opinion. If there's a better company please let me know (however I'm in Virginia and would prefer not to travel too far.)

Thanks for any and all help.

Belynda,

Both are very good sources for training. There are quite a number of
others and some do offer on-line training sessions with an instructor
(rather than just self-paced tutorials,) which could make your travel
budget available for more courses instead.

For example,

http://www.microtype.com/training.html
http://www.iconlogic.com/FrameMaker8VirtualClass.html
http://www.scriptorium.com/training/options.html or
http://www.scriptorium.com/training/schedule.html

There's also the option of having the instructors come to your site
for customized training, which might be more focused and effective. In
this case, additional options would include companies such as
Front-Runner Training, Publishing Smarter, KnowHow Pro, and Grafix
Training.
