Just a little

as I know the original thread was started with the aim of finding non-web based IMDS training, but I have just visited the following site:
If you go to
www.gmw3059.com (you will need to register to gain access), you can use the "Teach yourself IMDS" Online Video Seminar link. This is invaluable for those needing to get started on IMDS, without the requirement for leaving your office or having to arrange someone to come in!
Obviously this is GM based but it will certainly be a start. It is a very detailed seminar going from the requirements to do IMDS through to how to successfully complete an IMDS article. You can skip to individual sections dependant upon your requirements. It is actually one of the best I have seen. Thought this might be a useful reference for others! I have attached a screenshot of small piece of the seminar.
It is streamed, so a good internet connection and the relevant Flash software is required.
Hope it helps.
