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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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))
Hotel and Training Course prices - the effect of the VAT rise on 4th January 2011

Our training course rates for 2011 will remain (net) unaltered from 2010 - although the VAT increase from 17.5% to 20% means that invoice totals will rise slightly. Most of our customers can reclaim VAT. Hotel rates - quoted inclusive of VAT - rise slightly to reflect the extra tax - £85.00 double room as single occupancy, £95.00 double room / double occupancy, and £72.00 delegate rate. All rates include superior continental breakfast.

We are ... doubtful ... as to whether British commerce and industry as a whole will simply amend their prices to reflect the new VAT rate, or whether a whole lot of them will take advantage of the need to change prices to sneak in a rise in the next (pre-tax) price too, leading to inflationary pressures. So our formal quotation pages will only tell you that our new prices are valid for bookings confirmed by 31st March. I really hope that I can extend them at that point to June, September and then the end of the year, but at this point there is an unpredictability, and no need to make a decision we could regret.




It's at times like this that I'm really thankful that our website is largely parametrized, and that I've been able to make the changes in just a few placed to have the show up all through the sites. You should find prices correct and consistent for 2011 across the board at our main sites ...

Well House Consultants, staff reference page - [here] - we see more detail when logged in!

As always, the "devil is in the detail", and there is talk of prices in our Wiki, and I have mentioned them quite often in the blog. So I've ended up taking much longer that the work above took in order to make sure that people don't get old prices offered to them appearing to be current, while at the same time maintaining the archive nature of many of the blog articles - and that required individual updates at times!
