Fire Studio Online Courses
2 Hour Online One-on-One Essentials Overview ($175)
Online Instruction via web conference with one of our advanced instructors.
Learn the Essentials of Fire Studio 6/7. This 2 hour live online training session will give you the skills necessary to start using Fire Studio 6 to its full potential.
Learn how to create and save multi-slide simulations. Export your simulations and use them on other computers running Fire Studio 6/7.
Learn how to create keyboard triggered events. Use custom backgrounds and text to fully customize your simulations.
Ask questions during your session. The goal of this Essentials class is to give you the skills necessary to be comfortable building basic simulations for your training program with a much shorter learning curve.
You can also purchase additional sessions if needed. A second 2-hour session would focus on advanced features of Fire Studio 6/7.
