DigitalHeat FX i560 Training

Welcome to the DigitalHeat FX i560 CORE Training Course.

This course was created for you to learn the DigitalHeat FX (DFX) process at your own pace in your own time.

If you have not been enrolled by your ColDesi Customer Care Representative please call 1-877-793-3278 for access.

Each lesson is set up for you to achieve the highest level of success, so you’ll need to complete one lesson before moving on to the next in line. If you feel you have not quite understood the information or perform each step successfully you can review the lesson as many times as necessary. 

We do encourage you to complete the entire course before opening a support ticket for one of our DigitalHeat FX support specialists. The training IS comprehensive and carefully designed to answer all of your questions – contacting support should be reserved for technical issues rather than training questions. 

Please also take notes as you watch each lesson, because some lessons include a quiz, which requires you to answer questions based on the information in that particular lesson.

On behalf of the entire ColDesi team, we want to wish you the best of luck on your journey to “Achieving Your Dreams.”
