Onboarding

1:1 Design & Build Training

Focused Training
Alternatively - with the agreement of the Instructor a Training program can be focused on your particular application. This may not provide a full over-view of all aspects of clearString, but will get your application well on its way to completion.

Our courses are adaptive to your existing background and skills, so we don't waste time on concepts you are already familiar with. Before starting you will be asked to complete a questionnaire to help us understand both your background and what you aim to gain from the course.

Delivery format

Courses are hands-on: using screen-sharing technology you are guided through the system, and get to build your own sites. After each session you are given an assignment to complete, which is then reviewed and discussed at the next session before new concepts are introduced. You will be able to take away your assignment work and use that as the basis for future projects.
