Does the thought of the extra work involved in leaving your desk to go on a course put you off?
If any of the answers above are 'yes', then our weekend courses may be just the solution. You will not have to worry about what is happening at the office while you are away. Nor will your boss lose a days work!.
Just as importantly the pace and atmosphere of these courses is designed to create a more relaxed 'weekend break' atmosphere, that many find much more conducive to learning new topics. We find that the quality of learning is often inversely proportional to the pressure applied!.
Structure of Courses
The courses are planned as 'modules' that each take a day to complete and are set within a residential stay that is all part of 'lowering the pressure'.
Participants are invited to select their choices from the list below.
Some topics are spread across more than one module. For example Access introduction, and Access advanced. Obviously unless you have prior knowledge of the subject these modules need to be studied in order.
