2 Hours Video
Sample Files
Beginner Friendly
New to FileMaker and not sure where to start?
FileMaker is a great data automation software, but getting started can feel difficult.
A lot of beginners dive in learning without a clear direction. And most end up running in circles for weeks, trying different features, without really able to get it to go anywhere.
That's because they don't have the right "knowledge foundation"
No matter if you are using FileMaker version 9 or 19. Certain feature within FileMaker had always been the core bread and butter of the platform.
If you can master these knowledge first, everything else that you learn in FileMaker will fit nicely into this knowledge foundation.
What is this course?
This 3-day mini course will give you a quick tour of what you want to learn first in FileMaker.
The course contains 2 hours of video tutorial, along with sample files to walk you through the 3 most important areas that will help you learn FileMaker faster:
Once you have a basic understanding of these core areas, everything else you learn in FileMaker will become much easier to absorb.
