Meadows Training Packages

Professional training delivered by product experts

Meadows offers a variety of training packages designed to get you up and running with our software products as quickly as possible. Each package offered by Meadows is described below. We can also arrange to do custom training sessions and refresher courses if it’s been a while since you worked with our software. Please contact us for more details, or to arrange a training session.

Video Training Package (FREE)

For clients that want to get going as quickly as possible, and to develop a basic understanding of the capabilities of their DesignMerge software, this package is a great option. The Video Training package provides clients with access to a stockpile of video demonstrations and tools that will build confidence in their personal expertise with our products and unlock all of the potential advantages of the program. The videos cover in detail the major functional capabilities of the software and allow the client to learn the program at their own pace.

Video Training plus Consultation Package

This training package is an enhancement to the free 90-day video training. The Consultation Package extends access to the Video Training site for a full year, and also includes a follow-up webinar consultation session (up to a maximum of one hour) with one of our DesignMerge experts. This package is a great upgrade to the standard Video Training as it allows the client to self-train immediately, and to receive further, personalized clarification and additional details on any DesignMerge feature.

First Job Setup Package

The First Job Setup package provides an added measure of confidence for your first application of the DesignMerge software. Following initial Video Training, we schedule an initial meeting with the client to discuss their specific VDP job. Following this initial meeting, the client provides Meadows with all of the elements for their first job, including the Adobe InDesign document, a cleaned and sorted data file, all associated fonts and images, and a detailed description of the desired results. The Meadows team will prepare the files, and then a DesignMerge expert will schedule a second online session based upon this job. The instructor will lead the follow-up session, and the entire webinar will also be recorded. Meadows will then return the prepared files, linked and ready for processing by DesignMerge software, along with all of the DesignMerge setup files, plus a link to the recorded training session for future reference. The scope of training is defined by the job, with a maximum online instruction time of two hours.*

** Note: For all training packages, actual “delivery” (time and content) may vary based on the knowledge level, capabilities, and interests of the trainee. Please note that Meadows Publishing Solutions is not responsible for any issues that arise during training related to the client’s data, network, output device, workstations, or software that is not provided by Meadows.
