Did You Know...
In our many years of offering Adobe Certified FrameMaker and Acrobat training as well as training for Finite Matters' PatternStream that we have not canceled a single class at our Minneapolis (Golden Valley) location because of low enrollment. Because we personally do our own training, we don't need to meet a certain level of enrollment to make a class 'feasible' to run. So, sign up with confidence, we'll be here.
