Learning FileMaker Pro 14

If you are new to Filemaker this course will help get you up in running in a short amount of time. There a few good tips even if you know how to use filemaker.

I was an early user of this Training series purchased directly from the creator. I must say the presentation thru udemy is very good. The material covered in this course helps one to become very well with what FileMaker can do. Richard's delivery is well paced and easy to follow even when covering a complex subject. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who really wants to learn and use FileMaker 14. Greg Williams

I have extensive prior development experience, but brand new to FileMaker. FM Starting Point has been a god send and the content of this extensive video trading has been extremely helpful in customizing a solution . The combination has saved me weeks in getting up to speed. You can't go wrong! Download FM Starting Point and buy the training!

I've taken other Filemaker trainings that have put me to sleep. This is NOT the case in this course. Not only is it very well structured...it is entertaining. The graphics are superb and the speaker....his voice inflection...and his enthusiasm for filemaker just comes throught. To quote him about something his explaining "very cool". You don't often hear that level of excitement from instructors. Overall, one of, if not THE best Filemaker Training out there. Well Done.

I came across this training course when I discovered the fantastic FileMaker Starting Point (FMSP). FMSP is a free fully functioning and fully loaded database solution which is adaptable to any business need. It is so packed with stuff that to get any real benefit from it you need to get some instruction and that's where this video training course comes in. It covers everything from the most basic functionality to really advanced topics and guides you step by step through both FMSP specifically, and FileMaker Pro in general and is delivered in a very accessible manner. Some of the concepts can be difficult to grasp so having videos where you can go back over the content again and again makes sure that you get the information, and the methods of implementation that you need. I have personally been using FileMaker for over ten years but it was only when I downloaded FMSP and started using the videos in this course that I realised how little I knew and how much more FileMaker could do to make my work life so much easier. A big advantage with viewing the videos on Udemy is that you do not need to have a copy of FileMaker installed (with the downloadable version it runs inside FileMaker). Very importantly, when I ran into difficulties with trying to implement my specific needs, an email to RCC got a quick helpful response which got me going again. To summarise - this course includes all the basics you need to get up and running and if you keep going it also provides very advanced topics. You definitely will not be disappointed and if you give all the included video tutorials your attention you will be able to do things with FileMaker that you never thought possible.

I have always used this company (RCC Consulting) to aid my Filemaker career development. I rate these courses as 5 star and thoroughly recommend them to others.

This course provides a comprehensive resource for FM Starting Point and and a great resource for FileMaker 14 generally. It covers in an engaging and understandable a great number of the issues that come up when customizing a FileMaker solution. Richard Carlton makes his subject clear and easily understandable to learners at all levels of experience with relevant real world examples which can be directly applied in a business environment. When you consider the amount of valuable time searching internet forums for answers can easily consume the cost of this course is less than trivial. I can gladly highly recommend this course and I would consider it essential for users of FM Starting Point.

I worked with FMP for many years, then went about a decade without using it much at all. I now need to get up and running as quickly as possible, with FMP in general and specifically with FMP 14, and FMP Starting Point. I therefore decided to take the course offered by RC Consulting, and I couldn't be more pleased. The instructor is very clear, and really knows his stuff. The topics are very wide-ranging; the screens and graphics useful. Production quality is fine, as well. I'm currently customizing FMP Starting Point, (which is a very sophisticated template) and I really feel that I couldn't have done it without this course.

I don't write reviews but I am making an exception because the quality of this course is outstanding Richard has done a great job I have watched so many courses on filemaker but this course is so easy to understand and easy to follow. The best thing on this course is there is so much you can learn great job for putting this online the best I have ever seen. Very Informative Quality excellent Instructor is excellent 110% Take my hat off to you Richard

When a friend begged me to help him get an older Filemaker database being used in his office up on a server so that his technicians in the field could create jobs, log their time and record purchases, I was at a complete loss as to how to even begin. Then I can upon Richard Carlton's videos! With them I learned not only enough to get the job done, but also to streamline and update the database so that it now works much more efficiently. The videos are splendidly produced, well narrated and explained in the right amount of detail so that I've never been bored. If I feel that I don't need a particular video, I just skip it and move on. They are short enough so that by doing this I don't feel that I've compromised the overall content by picking and choosing what I need at the time. Even though I don't use the FM Starting Point solution the videos are structured around, many times I've been able to dig into FMSP after watching a video to see how a particular feature had been implemented and learn the underlying concept for myself. I use this course in addition to Filemaker's official training series and actually prefer watching an explanatory video first. This gives me a good overview of the material so that I can then, if necessary, slog through the manual for details that can't be covered in short video. The two course complement each other nicely for my needs. Bottom line: I highly recommend this course.

The content here is extensive. The money you spend on the course is well worth it. Richard does a very good job keeping my attention. FMStarting Point is created in a way to help you new users get well-versed in the platform.

Best FileMaker course out there. Everything you need to know is in it and it is well laid out. Can't recommend it enough!

This really must be the best resource "out there" covering the key aspects of developing databases with FileMaker. Superb audio and video. Course well structured and relevant. Suitable for all levels of ability. Thanks to Richard and his team.

This is not the way I expected to be. I don't need your business to be promoted in order for me to learn.

As a music educator, I've used FMP for about 20 years. But I never really learned how to use it correctly. Every file I created used only a single table. When I tried to learn on my own or by paying developers for their help (at over $100/hr), it turned out to be a waste as I became lost and confused very quickly. I didn't understand even the most basic terminology regarding databases or the workings of FMP. It was like a foreign language. But, I've learned more in less than a week by watching these videos than I learned from all the developers and other online videos/resources put together. The speaker actually explains every detail in such a way that a person who has no experience with database files or FMP will be able to understand with no problems. I've spent many hours searching for FMP learning options on the internet and they are easily the best product available to learn FMP. And for the money, its a steal!
