comparing Turbo-Chart and tilos training
When comparing the training required between Turbo Chart and Tilos, it’s important to remember the differences in the products.
Tilos is a powerful, comprehensive planning and scheduling package that offers more than simply generating Time Location charts. In fact if you were able to operate Tilos, you wouldn’t need any other scheduling tools such as Primavera P6, MS Project, Asta Powerproject etc.

designed to produce Time Location charts
Even if all you want is to create a Time Location chart from another scheduling tool, you still require significant training and effort in learning how to use Tilos, often requiring several days of training by expert Tilos schedule trainers.
In comparison, Turbo-Chart is designed to produce Time Location charts from your preferred scheduling tool. As turbo-Chart has no scheduling capability, the only training required is to:
- Importing or synchronising data from your preferred scheduling tool (a simple series of clicks)
- Preparing the charts to present the imported data

What our users say
Turbo-Chart is simple enough to learn on your own, in fact other users, such as Scott Carrico have commented.
We are certain training to use Turbo-Chart is measured in hours, not in days.
I was able to learn the software in less than 3 hours, had a schedule completed in less than a day. The clients were impressed within hours of sending the chart pdf by email.

Tilos Tutorials vs Turbo-Chart Tutorials
Differences between Tilos and Turbo-Chart tutorials

Due to the complexity in using Tilos, online tutorials are unlikely to offer the depth of knowledge and experience required to learn how to be proficient in using Tilos.
Face-to-face tutorials
Tilos training requires several days of guided effort, to complete such training online, is likely to require even more time. As a result, the primary option is to receive expert guided face to face tutorials, where trainees can also receive feedback on their progress in learning all the features of Tilos.
Online turotials
Online tutorials are the ideal method for learning how to use Turbo-Chart, and as training is a significantly less effortful exercise, anyone interested in learning Turbo-Chart need only spend minimal time watching online tutorials to understand the basics and advanced features of Turbo-Chart.
