Because training is online, class size is not limited. To take RTMS training, you will need access to the Internet, a Pentium-compatible computer with at least 128 MB of RAM and Windows 2000 or higher. Application servers, such as Win 2000, should provide one processor per 15 users with 1 GB of space per server plus at least 128 MB per user.
There are several RTMS levels. Depending on the course you select, it may explain inventory management, delivery tickets, invoicing, fleet maintenance and purchasing or how to construct basic SQL statements, store data and build reports. Other courses explain report designs, data sources, style sheets, conditional formatting and calculated fields. Courses are self-paced and online support is provided.
RTMS training can be expensive. Costs range from $600 to $1,800 per course. As an alternative, you can purchase software and study on your own. However, the cost of rental management software is not cheap either. It costs from $1,000 to $3,500, depending on the size and complexity of the business and the number of licenses included.
