Training Course Advice

Which type of training

If your company only needs to have one or two people trained, the most economical way to get trained is to enrol on a public course. The same applies if you are a private individual. Since we charge a flat rate for our on-site training services, this offers the best value for money to those organisations who need to train two or more members of staff on a software package and who have the resources to organise the training on their own premises. If you need more than two people trained but do not have suitable facilities for training at your offices, then a closed course at our training centre would be the best way to go.

Timing a training course

TimingThe best time to learn a software package is when you have a pressing need to use it. Training helps to demistify the package and make it more accessible but to master a package, it is essential to follow up the training by making regular use of the package. The worst time to learn a softtware package is when you won't need to use the package for some time. By the time you do get round to using it, you'll need another training course The ideal cycle for learning a package is initial training followed by usage followed by advanced or customised training, followed by more usage. For example, after an introductory training course on Macromedia Flash, you go away and start creating animations and interactive presentations. A few months later when you feel ready to to take your usage to the next level and get to grips with the intracacies of ActionScript, you book some more training.
