Classroom-Based Training - Advanced FTD Mercury Training
FTD's most popular technology training class!
This 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.

As an added bonus, members also receive personalized tours of FTD Headquarters, allowing you to become better acquainted with other areas of FTD.
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.
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.

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.

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.
