Courses Offered

The length of the courses listed below will depend on the depth to which the subject is to be covered and the knowledge level of the attendees. Where a time has been given it is for previous courses.

Bespoke courses are offered if the client gives an outline of the subjects and level required. References are available upon request.  We can also tailor the courses to suit the working practices of employees, eg, only morning sessions so that staff are not away from their desks for more than half a day.
