Putting the needs of its customers at the heart of its business, the latest Fusion Care seminars held by leading CAD software specialist 20-20 Fusion were incredibly well received by all who attended. As well as providing customers with the perfect platform to get to grips with the latest version of the market-leading software for the kbb industry, the seminars also gave 20-20 Fusion customers the opportunity to learn more about the fantastic new training programmes now available to them.
Recognising that for most independent retailers taking time out from the showroom to attend a lengthy two-day training course can be a tricky business, 20-20 Fusion’s new training programme is delivered in three stages: Bronze, Silver and Gold. This modular path of progression offers a more structured learning method than what could be delivered in just a single course and also avoids cramming in too much information in a single sitting.
The Fusion Bronze course is ideal for absolute beginners with a basic understanding of kitchens and bathrooms; Fusion Silver is for those with some experience of the software, who are adept at putting together a basic room design; while Fusion Gold is suitable for experienced designers looking to create top quality images and master all of the time saving techniques that the Fusion software can offer.
Craig Rothwell, Managing Director of 20-20 Fusion, says: “We often hear people say ‘I’ve been using the software for years and can pick it up myself’ or ‘I don’t have the time to do training’. The truth is, with major advances in technology allowing us to develop the product at an incredibly fast rate, users without even the most basic training in how to use the package could find themselves spending hours experimenting with all the features available whilst still not gaining the true benefits from the software.”
He continues: “A properly trained designer who really knows their way around this software can easily reduce their average overall design time by as much as 50 per cent and, when time is money, investing in the right level of training is undoubtedly a very wise investment. We also advise those customers who have completed their Fusion Gold training course to treat themselves to a refresher session every couple of years to ensure they’re still getting the most from the software.”
Attending the recent Fusion Care seminar, Richard Flower, from Ashford Fitted Furniture, said: “The last training course I did for Fusion was two years ago and the skills I learnt at the time were invaluable. That said, the new training structure will definitely be useful to help me brush up on techniques. It will also be very useful to my staff who all have differing skills levels and will slot in well at the different training levels.”
Danny Barker, from South Essex Kitchens in Witham, was also impressed with the new training packages, saying: “I did a basic course 18 months ago, but I’m now looking to move up to the next level. Today I’ve learnt some useful tips, such as how to create a glossy floor surface, and now I want to further extend my Fusion design skills and reach an even higher standard of performance.”
A final comment from Craig Rothwell: “We would invite all Fusion users to consider this well-structured training process; entering at the appropriate level and advancing all the way to Fusion Gold certification. In order to encourage full progression through the programme, we have made all three courses available to our customers at the same initial price and, upon completion of each level, a discount is then available when booking the next stage.”
