Classroom-Based Training - Advanced FTD Mercury Training
FTD's most popular technology training class is provided at FTD Headquarters located in Downers Grove, IL. Within our training facility, including 12 classroom-style workstations, multiple members can train simultaneously and follow along with an instructor. Classroom training is especially useful to improve overall familiarity with FTD Mercury Point of Sale. Not only will you get focused training on more in-depth FTD Mercury topics, but also have the opportunity to meet other florists who are also using FTD Mercury. As an added bonus, members also receive personalized tours of FTD Headquarters, allowing you to become better acquainted with other areas of FTD.
During the classroom training, you receive deeper training than you received during installation or in any other training FTD provides. The environment and class structure not only help you learn, but provide you the opportunity to focus, take notes, and ask whatever questions you have about your system. In addition to order entry, point of sale, and other day-to-day tasks, instructors cover advanced features of the system, including Mercury Delivery, Mercury Marketing, reports, and Mercury Administration.
Why is the classroom based training better over other training programs offered?
We cover all areas of FTD Mercury in our classroom based training. Whereas other training programs can only focus on specific areas. So, if we provide you with a training session on marketing only, you miss out on how adding new customers, completing orders in order entry, completing orders in point of sale, and etc impact marketing. Classroom based training will provide you all the needed information to use your system to the fullest extent possible.
Who should attend?
Owners, Office Managers, and staff that want to improve their overall ability to use FTD Mercury. This is an excellent way for shops to meet other shops from around the United States & Canada, network with other shops, and trade their own experiences. Please note that during this classroom-based training, attendees will learn advanced features & functionality of the FTD Mercury Point of Sale system, including Mercury Administration & Mercury Reports.
This class is specifically reserved for florists using FTD Mercury Point of Sale, there is no charge for this training class either. You are, however, solely responsible for the transportation with getting to Chicago.

Web-Based Training
Web-based training is offered to you via the phone and in the convenience of your business. Web-based training is offered to you and your staff at no additional charge. All web-based training will have a Q&A session immediately following the training session.
Although this web-based training may be more convenient, the focused training you can receive with Classroom Training is significantly more in-depth and will provide you with a greater overall knowledge in a much more compressed time frame.
How does web-based training work?
This type of training is very similar to a seminar. During the training session you the attendee(s) and the trainer are able to see the same screen. This enables you to see FTD Mercury or the screen of what the training session is covering.
We have several topics available, please click here to learn more.
