Software Training
This is your opportunity to learn from the Keywest Technology Team! Just to prove how easy digital signage should be, we have designed a one-day training course that covers the operation of our digital signage systems from A to Z. (Note: additional days may be needed for MediaXtreme enterprise systems using multiple InfoZone servers)
Whether you are a veteran PC user or a novice, our training is designed to teach you the basics of all the software functions. Advanced users can also benefit by learning tricks of the trade and learning from the professionals who actually design and develop our digital signage software.
We offer on-site training anywhere in the world. Additionally we conduct classroom training at our facility in Lenexa, Kansas, USA, or Keywest Europe . See our course outline and syllabus for complete details.
