From Sunday lunchtime to Wednesday lunchtime, from Melksham to Melksham via Aberdeen with a two day course presented in the North of the city - that's three hotels sampled, six delegates who now know their httpds from their Tomcats, and can choose between mod_jk, mod_proxy, mod_rewrite and others from a position of knowledge. And it's another 1200 miles on the clock too.

I have to admit - I'm glad that we've set a minimum course duration for private on site courses of 2 days now - not that this material could have been covered in one day. But a two day course lets us offer a realistic, easy pricing model where we don't have to start adding in travel time costs. Allowing us to service some of the more distant part of our markets (I've given courses in Stirling, Aberdeen and Invernedd in the last 6 mouths) on the same set of ground rules that we use for closer courses such as Swindon and Wycombe.
