Our learning content is organized by discipline. Each discipline includes Learning Paths, Courses and Workflows. Learning Paths (12+ hrs) offer a comprehensive guide through the software. Courses (3-8 hrs) are theme oriented training. Workflows (1-4 hrs) are short lessons that focus on specific topic.
