I'm pleased to update you, as the autumn "season" starts, with our schedule of available, public, Open Source training courses for this autumn [2010]. Each course in the list below has a link leading you to the full description, and the further dates that it's scheduled through 2011 - so this page will provide a good starting point even when the dates listed below have happened.
Public courses run at our purpose fitted Melksham, Wiltshire, England training centre and last from one to five days depending on the curriculum. They're open to any delegate who wishes to attend - from companies, government organizations, educational establishments, or privately - subject only to your fluency in English and (in the case of the more advanced course) your fulfilling the pre-requisites.
The first course listed in each section is a "learning to ..." course which is for beginners - it assumes no prior knowledge. We also have hotel quality accommodation at our training centre, so that you can stay on site with the other delegates and make the very best of your time with us.
All courses are written by, and presented by, our own employees. They typically run with 4 to 6 delegates (maximum 8) to ensure that every delegate gets the best of attention to his/her own specific requirements, but there's no minimum number. So you're assured, once you book, that the course will run at the venue and on the dates you have chosen (this might seem an odd thing to have to say, but regrettably it's not an industry standard).
Dates given are start dates of course which at the time of writing have places available on them.

There is plenty of further information at the individual course pages (links above); more general information is available
[here] and if you want to know how long it will take you to drive to Melksham, see
[here]. We also have train and long distance coach services, and we encourage you to use public transport, arranging complimentary collection from the local station to encourage its use. The accommodation web site (we run the hotel too!) is
[here].
But even with all that further information, you may have more questions - often about whether the course is what
you need in terms of your current knowledge and target application(s) of the knowledge you'll gain. And I'm going to encourage you to get in touch with me, personally, as the tutor to check that it's right for you. There's a web form you can use
[here] - or you can email
graham@wellho.net or phone - 01225 708225 or 0800 043 8225. Please bare in mind that I'm very often training, so you'll find that you're very likely to have to leave a message for me to return your call during a break.
If you have a group of delegates who require the same course at the same time, we can arrange a private course - either at our training centre, or on site "at your place". Such courses account for around 40% of our business and we can travel almost anywhere to present them, usually provide all the equipment that's needed to you just book us, and provide a room and the students. We do the rest. As our courses are modular, we tailor private courses to meet the needs of the individual company - you're not limited to the curricula linked above, and dates are arranged to be mutually convenient.
