Prospector U. is a collection of instructional videos that are designed to provide fast and effective training for both novice and experienced users of Prospector.
Let's face it, traditional help in the form of user & reference
manuals just isn’t terribly effective anymore. Fact is that no one reads anymore. Who has time to rifle through hundreds of web pages searching for answers. And old-school classroom training?
It's just so 20th century! The time, expense and lost productivity is getting harder and harder to justify. Especially true when the quality of training can be so uneven and
perhaps unsuitable.
So welcome to Prospector U.
Our mission is to deliver high-quality content that suits the way people expect learn today - anytime, at their own pace on virtually any device. Many
of the videos include data sets you can download and practice with in Prospector to make sure you understand how a particular feature or function works.
As always, your feedback is important to us. Let us know where we
can improve or suggest new content you would be interested in seeing.
Shoot us an email at
