Is training seasonal?

For us - involved in training primarily in the UK in Open Source languages and other technologies - it is, slightly seasonal but we're fortunate that the season runs for 11 months. The off-season which runs from a week or so before Christmas to mid January is a welcome chance to holiday, to catch up with paperwork and to plan for the next year. We're still very much open for bookings, and we've even got a Python course running from 9th to 11th January.

A couple of days back, we took a tour up to the Napa and Sonoma valleys - a chance to let someone else take care of the transportation for a change - and we happened across these two gents, leaning on the boot (trunk) of their car and passing the time of the day. We've had some time to "chew the cud" too - review 2005 and look forward to 2006, recharge our batteries and freshen up for what's going to be a fascinating next year. Watch this space!

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.
