Public courses are ideal when you have an immediate training requirement for a small number of people.  <P>For larger groups we can organise closed courses which can be run at one of our training centres, or on-site at your own offices. Our standard courses have been carefully designed to meet a wide range of the more usual training needs. For closed courses we can also draw on our library of training materials to design a custom course or a full training programme that meets your own specific training requirements. </TD> </TR> </TABLE>   <TABLE BORDER=0 WIDTH="100%" > <TR> <TD VALIGN=TOP><B><FONT SIZE=+1>The best instructors</FONT></B>  <BR>All our instructors are professionals - working software developers themselves, as well as skilled presenters who ensure that all students understand the material being covered and that no-one gets left behind.  <P><B><FONT SIZE=+1>Hands-on training in guaranteed small classes</FONT></B>  <BR>All our courses have a large hands-on, practical content. We firmly believe that you only really learn by doing - and the best place to start is in the supportive environment of the classroom where you won't be stuck for hours on your first problem. And you can take your work away with you at the end of the course. We limit our public courses to a <U>maximum of six students</U> to ensure individual attention at all times. </TD> <TD WIDTH="20"> </TD> <TD VALIGN=TOP><B><FONT SIZE=+1>Short modular courses</FONT></B>  <BR>Our courses are intensive and are designed to impart the required knowledge, and develop your skills to the point of self-sufficiency, in the shortest possible time away from your desk. In addition, many of our public courses are structured so that you have the choice of completing your training in one week, or spreading it over consecutive weeks or months.  <P><B><FONT SIZE=+1>Comprehensive courseware</FONT></B>  <BR>All our courses are carefully designed to maximise learning during the course, and the course materials provide a valuable source of reference when you return to your workplace.  </TD> </TR> </TABLE>   <TABLE BORDER=0 WIDTH="100%" > <TR> <TD ALIGN=CENTER WIDTH="33%"><A HREF="../schedule/index.html"><IMG SRC="schedule.gif" ALT="SCHEDULE" BORDER=0 HEIGHT=23 WIDTH=98></A></TD> <TD ALIGN=CENTER WIDTH="34%"><A HREF="../schedule_details/index.html"><IMG SRC="schedule_details.gif" ALT="SCHEDULE DETAILS" BORDER=0 HEIGHT=23 WIDTH=188></A></TD> <TD ALIGN=CENTER WIDTH="33%"><A HREF="../training_centre/index.html"><IMG SRC="training_centre.gif" ALT="TRAINING CENTRE" BORDER=0 HEIGHT=23 WIDTH=169></A></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD ALIGN=CENTER WIDTH="33%"><A HREF="../company/index.html"><IMG SRC="company.gif" ALT="COMPANY & CLIENTS" BORDER=0 HEIGHT=23 WIDTH=197></A></TD> <TD ALIGN=CENTER WIDTH="34%"><A HREF="../enquiry/index.html"><IMG SRC="enquiry.gif" ALT="ENQUIRY FORM" BORDER=0 HEIGHT=23 WIDTH=143></A></TD> <TD ALIGN=CENTER WIDTH="33%"><A HREF="../links/index.html"><IMG SRC="links.gif" ALT="LINKS" BORDER=0 HEIGHT=23 WIDTH=59></A></TD> </TR> </TABLE>   </BODY>
