FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What are the advantages of purchasing training on DVD-ROM?
There are several advantages to purchasing training on DVD-ROM. Video training is far more effective than learning with a book or a user manual. With video based instruction, we experience visual learning as each function and feature of the software is demonstrated for us by an expert instructor. Video training offers you all the advantages of learning in a classroom environment – with a great added benefit. You can go back to view your DVD-ROM based training as often as you need to. Finally, DVD-ROM based training provides you with the flexibility of learning at your own speed, at your own time, and at any location of your choice. No other training medium offers you as many benefits and as much flexibility. Firefly Learning’s Video Workshop products are designed to help you quickly learn and become productive with your software.
What are the benefits of using the project files, and can I do your training without them?
Use the project files to practice using the tools and techniques you have learned. These practical “lab” sessions will help reinforce your learning.
Of course, our video training workshops are still a great way to learn even without the project files. Project files are available free to all registered users – we strongly recommend that you download the project files and take advantage of this great resource.
Can I download your training courses?
At this time, we do not offer our training courses online. Firefly Learning’s Video Learning Workshop series are only available on DVD-ROM.
Are your training products Windows or Macintosh compatible?
Both! Each of our training DVDs can be run on both Windows and MacOSX computers. This gives you even more flexibility – just carry your DVD with you – and you can attend your class on virtually any computer that has a DVD-ROM drive. You can even attend class in an environment where you do not have internet access! Please check the minimum system requirements for more details.
