Hi James,

If you look through the “Product Discussion” section of the site, I think there are a few vendors that advertise FIX training sessions in that forum.

Maybe this might seem a bit off topic.
I suggest you checking http://www.validfix.com/
Just check the services. Edit FIX messages online might be a good form of training/learning.
