Professional On-boarding
Design and Build
1:1 Training
We provide one-on-one training in a virtual classroom to rapidly enable you to become proficient in designing and building the clearString way.
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.
Duration - 1 + 5 sessions over ~2 weeks
Session 1 - Introduction:
First full session is FREE* to all paid license holders - even if you do not buy the full course.
Our goal is to make each project a success, so all paid licenses come with one full session of one-to-one tuition to make sure you are starting with a solid foundation and to provide an outline to getting your project completed quickly.
Session 2:
One hour introduction
Self-paced assignment
Session 3-5:
Half-hour discussion of previous assignment
One hour tutorial of new concepts
Self-paced assignment
Session 6:
Half-hour discussion of previous assignment
One hour final tutorial
You should expect to spend about two hours on each assignment on your own following the tutored session.

The 1:1 Format
Training is provided 1:1, meaning one instructor, one student. This allows the training to be tightly focused both to the student's particular project, and to their existing skills.
We have found having others people present with the student, even in a silent "looking over the student's shoulder" capacity greatly reduces the effectiveness of the sessions. The instructor may terminate a session without refund if there is a violation of this policy.
*All Training courses are subject to availability.
License value must be equal to or greater than $280 (so you may need to prepay for several months for pay-as-you-go licenses)
