For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
Providing exceptional service - and carrying on doing so.

Nothing gives me greater please than to hear from a customer who writes "My line manager is quite keen for me to work on those web programming skills for various proposed, so we've already discussed it, and I don't think he'd be looking at me going elsewhere for training - what you do is so much better than everywhere else we've looked. It's just matter of what the training budget will allow!" And that's because we're achieving what we want to achieve - a product that's exceptionally suited to our client's needs.

Actually, it's been rather a good week for such things; a conversation with guests checking out this week - a group of three with two back next week and the third staying elsewhere because we were full. yes, he is wait listed. And as he explained as he checked out - "I'm the boss and I want my staff to be really comfortable when they're away from home; I'm used to a lot of different places" and with an assurance that the following booking - when we do have room - he'll be with us.

These two discussions related to the PHP Techniques Workshop and to hotel rooms at Well House Manor

But we have to be careful - very careful - not to rest on our laurels; it would be so natural and easy for us to let standards slip which is why the opportunity has been taken this week, with things a little quieter than normal, to catch up on a few things, adjust things to crisp them up before they are customer visible, and so on. Which has left me doing some very odd things like photographing bed settings to remind me (and everyone else) just how those duvets look in the duvet covers.

This is a page archived from The Horse's Mouth at http://www.wellho.net/horse/ - the diary and writings of Graham Ellis. Every attempt was made to provide current information at the time the page was written, but things do move forward in our business - new software releases, price changes, new techniques. Please check back via our main site for current courses, prices, versions, etc - any mention of a price in "The Horse's Mouth" cannot be taken as an offer to supply at that price.
