With the ever increasing spread of computers, mobile devices and social media, a good understanding of information technology is a key factor in many organisations. We can help raise the awareness of your staff in areas which are important for your operation: by direct teaching, tutorial-style question-and-answer sessions and by helping them as they work.

Commercial experience suggests that advanced customised training, even in such relatively simple tools as Word, Windows and basic Internet skills can markedly increase productivity. However we offer a very wide range of topics, and a large segment of our material is aimed at IT professionals such as programmers, system architects, database designers and systems administrators. Below is an outline of some of the areas in which we can provide training, but for a full list, check out our Course Catalogue.
