Funny that you think takes that much money to learn the software. it maters how deep you want to go. you would be surprised how deep I go teaching just my begging class at the local college. I do not use books all hands on. but the one course sponsored by your company about $300 for 88 hours and you learn from a 30 year user and programmer.
I am sorry your exprenece has been so bad.Bit like any software it takes time in front of using it. There is no way to teach all the option to a person in say 3 days.
