Metrix Design Studio Classes
Get the most out of your Metrix solution by learning how to customize it with our introductory or advanced Metrix Studio class. Classes are held in a multi-client, workshop format with hands on practical applications of the topics covered. To get the most out of the experience, students are expected to bring several examples of how they plan to use Metrix Studio, which will be covered as part of the course work.
