Training is invaluable. It allows users to more quickly unlock the
full potential of the tools they have. All MapInfo
users, from first-timers to old hands, benefit from training.
The MapInfo Professional Tutorial is a good introduction for beginners
who are self-motivated. Connect to the Tutorial via the Help menu
in MapInfo Pro or
click here.
A second no-charge option is online training. Online training was
available previously at a cost of $40/lesson. These lessons are
free to all users effective immediately.

the core features of MapInfo Pro but the agenda focuses
on the specific MapInfo features most pertinent to your
work. Often we can integrate your
company's map data into the training.
This is hands-on training, with one computer per participant. (Most
common format.)

We can place someone next
to you as your personal MapInfo trainer, consultant, and
savant. You contract for as much time as you need.
Our trainer is 100% dedicated to working with you:
answering questions, suggesting techniques, and/or
demonstrating ways to create wonderful MapInfo Pro maps
and map-based analysis.
In contrast to custom
training, personal training is normally one-on-one.
You are in total control of the content, pace, and choice
of topics. No training materials are provided by SGSI, although you may purchase copies of the MapInfo
Authorized training workbooks at our cost ($40-60/copy), if
available.
