If you're in an area of the UK that's covered by 3G phone service, we can now have our training computers on line during private courses on your site without having to add our machines inside your firewall. You just provide 'the room and the students' and we do the rest.
We have always provided an "easy to set up" private training course service where you have nothing to provide but the trainees and a conference room, running our network independently, but this extra facility now allows us to use online resources during the courses. It will be a real *plus* for advanced, tailored courses on subjects such as Web Server Deployment (both Tomcat and Apache httpd) ... and also for use during practical sessions on PHP courses, allowing delegates to reference the online facilities of www.php.net directly just as they doubtless will after their course.
I'm really excited by this new development - it makes for even more effective training, with answers to *your* unusual questions raised during the course just a couple of clicks away, with the expertise of the tutor used in real time to filter out solutions from vast online resources.
A practical test of the new facility this week in Milton Keynes went off better that we would have dared to predict. Extra cost to you - NOTHING - it's that extra service that we're providing as part of the package to make our courses even more effective and attractive - we believe in Customer service!
We cannot guarantee coverage at your office, but you can check what the phone company says here. We CAN assure you of connectivity throughout the course if you come to our training centre ... a private course here in Melksham with us gets your team off site and concentrating on learning, complete with hotel accommodation and team building evenings. A great way to look after your staff!
