Learn by doing
We believe strongly in the benefits of "Learning by doing". Where possible, attendees will use pre-configured lab environments to solve practical scenarios.
Standard or customised?
Every situation is different. We provide standard courses which fit most customers, but we can customise duration, content, or emphasise particular topics.
For example, we have requests to maximise practical content, restrict time, emphasise particular topics, or dovetail standard courses with workshops which cover aspects of a customer's customised environment. Please let us know when you contact us, and we can discuss what you need.

Our training is focused on training your staff, at your company, with your requirements. We can deliver courses both online or onsite, unless otherwise stated. We come to you, or provide training facilities if required.
Courses with workshop components are generally best done in-person if possible. Please check the course descriptions, and if you need online training, please get in contact to discuss your requirements.

We keep our pricing clear, transparent and all-inclusive. Pricing is in GBP, excluding VAT for 10 attendees attending a remote course. Please enquire for workshop pricing - this may vary depending on the preparation required.
