Onsite courses have a number of advantages over open enrollment courses if your organization has several people needing training. There is the potential for substantial cost savings in travel and lodging. There is also the possibility of lower average cost per person for the basic fees for the course. In addition, onsite courses can be customized to suit your needs or developed entirely for your organization. Normally, onsite courses become a viable option when you have five or more people requiring training. We work with a large number of instructors with many different skills, so we are not limited to the course content on these web pages. If you are interested in training on topics that are not listed here, call us and we will work with you to develop an onsite course to fit your needs. The course below is an example of an onsite course that we developed for one of our customers.
