(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?
(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi Mike,
Do you offer any training? I know i am resurrecting old post but I would be very interested & willing to pay for your expertise.
Hi Anthony
Its been closed down for the last 8 months or so.
Nobody was interested enough to buy a training module.
Best regards

Hi Mike
When do you get this site up, I know I have contacted you earlier this year but would like to learn from experience guys like you.
cheers
Hi Ruel
I am starting off with Asta Software and it is the intention to include all other relevant products on a roll out basis.
For copyright reasons I cannot use any words like Asta in my marketing material.

Just like to follow up on Raymond inquiry,
"Is this Academy includes Topics for P6 users?"
if not, then it should be rename like "Asta Planning Academy" or "Powerproject Planning Academy". and if you would call it an academy, then it should not just cover one software module but also other software module.
Just my 2 cents and a honest opinion.
Regards and cheers!
Hi mike

cheers
Hi Mike,
