We pride ourselves on the excellence of our training courses
We have been providing IT training courses since 2002. We pride ourselves on our concise, clear communication and on the quality of our courses, which are all authored in-house. The feedback we have received attests to their effectiveness. We offer two types of training: classroom and bespoke.

Classroom training

Training roomWith our classroom training courses trainees are invited to attend our premises in central London and are taught one of our pre-written courses. Class sizes are kept small (a maximum of 6 trainees) to ensure that each attendee receives enough individual attention from the trainer.

You are invited to bring your own laptop computer to classroom training courses. If you don’t have one, we provide one for you. You then work from a printed manual and mirror the trainer at the front, whose computer display is projected onto a screen for the class to see. The trainer will often mingle with you too and check your work ; the courses are highly interactive and you are encouraged to ask questions.

Our classroom based courses currently last between one and three days depending on the course. They run from 10am through to 4.30pm with a break for lunch. We provide full Internet access while you are on the premises, lunch, one month’s free support and a certificate of attendance.

Advantages of classroom training

We put a great deal of time into preparing our classroom training courses. If you find a course that looks like it covers what you need to know, this is likely to be the cheapest and most effective option for you. You can also ask as many questions as you like in the class, and benefit from others’ questions. Since you are in a classroom, there are fewer distractions than in the workplace – you’ll find you can concentrate and really learn. You get to meet new contacts and you also get to take away the course manual. Finally, if your company sends multiple trainees, you will receive a discount on classroom training.

Bespoke training

Tape measureBespoke training, the name suggests, is training tailored to your exact needs. Briefed by you as to your requirements, we will spend a few days preparing custom-built training course for you which we deliver to any number of your staff, either at our premises or on-site at yours.

Bespoke training can take as little as one day to deliver, or it can take up to three days. If the requirement is longer than this it tends to fall more into our consultancy or development brackets.

Advantages of bespoke training

With bespoke training you can be sure that exactly the subjects you need to know about will be covered. You don’t even need to leave your workplace either: we will come to you.

You might be interested in our bespoke training services if you have hit an impass in a project and need some help moving forward, if you have inherited a codebase and need some help understanding it, or if you’re just about to begin a project and need to plug some knowledge gaps before commencing.

In any of these cases feel free to contact us to discuss your exact requirements.
