Course offerings include:
Computer-Based Training (CBT)
Once you have completed the basic Goldfire training, Invention Machine offers a series of computer-based training courses that refresh and extend your knowledge of Goldfire. These on-demand courses can be viewed from your desktop at any time, at your own pace. Licensed CBT users will receive courseware updates as they become available.
These courses are offered in one of three packages:
- Goldfire Innovator CBT – this package includes a refresher training course on Goldfire Innovator, as well as advanced courses on new features and process modeling.
- Goldfire Researcher CBT – this course can be used as a refresher course for users previously training on Goldfire Researcher, or for new users joining an existing Goldfire Researcher user community.
- Administrator CBT – the administrator package augments the standard knowledge base administration training with advanced courses on Goldfire’s indexing services, building deep web custom links, and ODBC connectivity.
Courseware Licensing
For companies wishing to customize the standard Invention Machine training courses, we also offer courseware licensing. This service provides access to all source materials for the training classes, and allows you to create derivate and custom Goldfire training for your company.
