We have a new employee starting in a few weeks. Any advice on Flexi training he can do at home before he starts?

Is this is a paid training situation? Or more like a suggested reading type thing?
I pity the fool that asks for free work from a pre-employee...

I mean, if it's not required, it can be unpaid. However, it required/expected, then the training must be paid. At least in the US.

Most Flexi 'training' is step-by-step videos and some webinars. Just set them up on a trial or on a main account and let them follow along to the videos. If they don't have a copy to use while training, good luck retaining anything.

Flexi is a very strong program but easy to use.
Two hours of watching someone rip and print different styles of of jobs (decsls, posters, signs, window graphics) they will adapt quickly.

Design-wise, there's enough on YouTube that they should become VERY comfortable after a few hours. Learning printing, well.... that's got to be in-house and overlooking someone else doing the printing. Understanding what profiles to use with what material or what job, how to color manage a job that needs more than the usual in the pre-flight and output end...that takes learning from how your shop performs and utilizes it's equipment. It's easier to teach someone how to use FlexiSign to design AND print, than have to show them how to use a design program and then how to set it up for print using another RIP. Hopefully they know a little Illustrator, so it won't make it that difficult.

I remember when SAi was telling me about their amazing upcoming announcement. Turns out they still don't properly support 10 color printing; they got bought out and their subscription prices went way up. I am still not amazed.

Doesn't the same company own the Flexi software and the Adendo training platform? It's like buying a car and having GM or Ford charge you for the privilege to have them show you how to operate the AC or the wipers on top of the never ending lease payments.
If you subscribe to the flexi version of creative cloud all the Adendo training is included. PLUS they have a find my font app/software that would help out a ton of people on this site and just save a ton of time.

Mark Rugen had a site like 20 years ago called givemehelp.com. Flexi training.

Not sure if he’s still around but did a quick search and found a couple videos.

I think he use to advertise here…
