Fieldbook Academy Table of Contents
Academy courses are broken into micro tutorials, which are bite-sized lessons that target very specific features in the application. Each tutorial is designed to take a few minutes and typically include text, images and animation. You can take them at any time and they even adapt to your phone or tablet screen size.
At first, we suggest you take the courses sequentially. Then, use them as reference materials if you need help at any time.
You could also consider taking all of the tutorials prior to on-site visits from HeadLight trainers so you can have a head start on using the applications.
