It seems like just last year that we offered our first FileMaker training course in Sydney. How time flies! On 20 November 2006, three people attended a FileMaker Pro 8.5 Essentials course. The next day, ten people attended the follow-up course. Since then, we have trained over 350 people from more than 200 companies and organisations. In that period, we have also seen the release of new versions FileMaker Pro 9 and FileMaker Pro 10. Our courses have been rewritten with each release to accommodate the new features. David Head is the only FileMaker Authorised Trainer in the region and trains the official FileMaker curriculum.
