New Visual Architect On Demand Course
The AMX University Training Team has created a comprehensive and informative On Demand learn track for the VisualArchitect (VA) software package. This new learn track provides an overview of VA for the novice user as well as detailed sessions for each of the major tasks that VA can perform for the advanced user.

Best of all, these sessions are available at your convenience anywhere an internet connection is accessible.

There have been high levels of interest in creating these courses through the excitement surrounding VA. Here's what some people are saying:

"AMX integrators in Europe often have small teams and in many cases, only one person responsible for the full installation - from design, installation to programming. VA is right up their alley as they are always looking for ways to work efficiently. In light of all the new technologies AMX has taken into its portfolio, VA is key to our European dealers adopting the other AMX brands with minimal investment in time to figure out how to configure / program the new technologies."

- Andrew Crawley – Engineering Director, AMX UK

 

"We have been actively promoting VA and the new LMS system to our dealers. With their busy schedules, it gives them time to take the basic training and get started with AMX without the time or expense of sending people to in-person courses. This is especially good for introducing new employees to AMX. Once they are set up, they seem happy to move forward with the training."

- Marco Thiele –  AMX Sales in the Netherlands

 

"The VA learn track is great for busy programmers. By splitting the course into small chunks, they can fit their training in around their busy schedules and can even take courses right from home."

- Stef Decru –  AMX Sales Manager Belgium
