Welcome to FIN Framework training. We aim to provide high-quality, comprehensive training to those working with FIN. With over a decade of experience, delivering courses to thousands of students, our training team use the latest methods to deliver the skills, tools and resources you need to get going with FIN. Our cutting-edge virtual training platform, FINstitute, allows our training team to deliver online, flexible courses suited to your needs.

PRACTICAL, HANDS-ON TRAINING - NUMEROUS SESSIONS AND LOCATIONS.

At J2 Innovations, our primary goal is to provide timely and accurate training along with information on the most current release of our software product. We strive to make the training hands-on so that the students learn not only the concepts but also how to apply them to their everyday projects.

On the last day, students are given an actual project submittal so that they have everything they need to complete a real integration job. They will create: system architecture, data modeling, graphics, schedules, alarms, logic, histories, and summaries. Students will leave the class knowing that they have the requisite knowledge, skills, and tools to complete a real job.

J2 Innovations offers SI level training on our products in conjunction with our distributors in the U.S. and Canada. For our OEM partners we offer developer level training either at our Head Office in California or locally to the partner's offices, wherever they are located in North America, Europe or Asia Pacific.

I'm impressed! I thought the flow and pace was just right. The size of the lessons provided were just the right amount of information to keep each one interesting but concise. I am going to make sure the rest of our Sales Team works through these sessions. They will all learn from the content and it will give them confidence when recommending your virtual training for new FIN customers.

Thanks for the extra effort setting this session up. It gave me exactly what we needed!

I thought your class was presented well. Paced well. And very informative. I walked away with a good foundation for getting going with FIN. I cant wait to start with FIN.
