From yesterday's mailbox:

Question: "Can you tell me what differentiates Well House Consultants from the likes of Learning Tree, QA training, Interquad etc.?"

Answer: Interquad, Learning Tree, QA and others must answer for themselves as to what they provide and don't provide, but here's a check list of some Well House Consultants features that are unusual:

* Courses presented by an IT professional and trainer who actually writes the material.
* Public courses limited to 7 trainees so that each trainee gets maximum attention.
* Courses run even if there's just one trainee booked (though it's quite rare to have that small a course).
* Notes updated regularly / specially printed for each course.
* We specialise in niche subjects and do not provide more general training.
* Lots of practical demos written while you watch. See how programs develop.
* Purpose fitted training room for public courses with full internet access at 4 Mbit for each trainee.
* Use our laptops during the course (choice of Windows, OS X, or Linux) or your own on our network.
* 500 Open source books in our library for your use.
* Post-course support from the tutor via email or Opentalk forum.
* Bring your own data / project to discuss with the tutor.
* Training centre open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., and tutor available.
* List prices typically 20 to 30% lower.

And that's just a list for public courses! We're enthusiasts for the subjects we teach - and our business and style reflects this.
