In the Novice program, we'll move slowly; the six-week program will allow us to explore the tools and functions in depth. In the Advanced program, we'll jump right into the specifics of drawing tools, perspective, photo editing, and fill effects.

Minutes Matter and the WFCP  offer the Studio Designer Coaching Program

 

The WFCP Studio Designer Coaching Program for Minutes Matter Studio is offered exclusively through the WFCP (Window Fashions Certification Program™) and Minutes Matter. We find that most people are barely skimming the surface of how they can fully utilize the multi-faceted Studio software in their business. Here’s your chance to become a Studio Authority.

The WFCP Studio Designer Coaching program, taught by Merlyn Corcoran,  Studio Instructor with Minutes Matter, is offered in two levels:

·         The novice level coaching program is designed to help beginners learn the skills and shortcuts needed to create professional renderings faster and with less frustration, avoiding common oversights.
·         *The advanced level coaching program, experienced Studio users will be exposed to techniques and tools which will add polish, depth, and dimension to their renderings, as well as enabling them to use Studio to design brochures, newsletters, and other marketing materials.
 
When you participate in a coaching program, you receive live, via the Internet, hands-on time with an expert instructor. Each session is specifically tailored to suit your needs in a natural progression.
When you actually perform a task yourself, you are more likely to retain it, understand it and finally allow it to become second nature. Your ability to create professional renderings that will delight your clients and have them showing their friends will move your company's services out of the ordinary and into the extraordinary. Learning to utilize Studio to the max will give you the ability to accomplish these goals.
