And, with our new online learning library, we allow them to do just that,“ explained Patel.

Federal. “The technology Digital-Tutors has harnessed to bring training to their customers is simply amazing. Every artist is different and prefers to learn with a method that works best for them. And now, we finally have the ability to customize our training. With the CLIPS Technology, I can create my own mini-training kits. And with Tags, Notes, and Playlists, I can share important information with my team. It‘s amazing!” added Lefebvre.
