For 5 or more programmers, I would contact TakeNote Computing. Panama is very affordable (and one of my favorite places as you know) and it may be cost effective to pay for onsite training with TakeNote. Or perhaps TakeNote could perform special classes at the college and they could be open for more programmers to attend then and the cost would not be as high? Additionally, the training they provide is outstanding. Maybe a 2 or 3 day or 5 day seminar? We paid for onsite training years ago and it was well worth it. They even provide custom courses when you have a hodgepodge of experience levels in the class (as we did).


>>>I need to train potential employees in a time and cost effective manner. One posibility is to offer a few introductory sessions and then setting up promising candidates with a copy of The Fundamentals plus VFP Academic Edition as well as some motivation for those that learn well. Problem is, to purchase the Academic Edition you need to prove you are a student, which we are not.

>>Looks like Jordon answered your question. One thing to add about the acedemic edition is that there is no license for installing (deploying) commercial or business applications, it is for learning only.

>I know about academic edition not allowing installation, that is fine. I'll try to contact some of the universities here to see who is interested. Hope they don't want me to be the teacher! This is the Achilles heel of VFP, no new blood. I have to solve this one.
