Pentext's iShowU HD Pro Training course is designed to instruct while you develop a new iShowU HD Training Videos or Software Demonstrations that are specific to your corporate needs. This helps you to move your project forward while learning the iShowU HD Pro skills necessary for your immediate requirement. We provide all the expertise, planning documents, templates and style guides. All pentext courses are accompanied by our six months of complete support services. At the end of the course, you will have a complete project developed script and storyboard that you can use to develop the rest of your content immediately.

Overview
All courses are specific to your corporate needs. That means that one of our instructors will work with you (or your team) specifically; you will never be in a training group with participants from any other company. We work through the course using your content or deliverable, as part of the exercise. That way, after the course, you already have some or all of your project complete. You can also contact your instructor for six months after the course is complete for full support.
