Resources from the web site of Well House Consulaants on the subject of During the course. We provide open source training course and business hotel accommodation in Melksham, Wiltshire, England

Courses usually run from 09:00 on the first day to 17:00 on most days (finish by 16:45 on the last day). Outside those hours, you've welcome to use the library and customer lounge, continue with your practicals or check your email in the training room, and ask your tutor and our other staff questions if you wish. Staff are on duty from 06:30 in the morning until the evening, and if you're staying with us your room card will get you into the training room in the middle of the night if you REALLY want to (but most delegates just take our laptops up to their rooms!)Moving up a class

3588	Learning about how to help people learning - and retaining "Teaching isn't only about knowing your subject. It's also about selecting which parts of that subject are relevant to your current audience, and passing on that knowledge to them in a way which makes them understand it, be motivated by it, retain it, and make good ongoing use of it" I enjoy being ...	2012-01-28
3233	C / C++ Course Lunch - sitting out at the West End This week we are running C and C++ training courses. It was such a lovely day that we walked to the "West End" for lunch - that's Melksham's West End pub, and not the West End of London. The pub, a member of the "Hungry Horse" chain (Greene King, Bury St Edmunds) has recently been refurbished. ...	2011-04-07
2560	Training comparison to QA Training, Learning Tree, GB Direct. As we're reviewing our prices for the coming year (2010), we compare what we offer with other training companies offering courses on the same programming languages.

2342	Training Classes in other tongues Do we train in Finnish or in French, in Dutch or Danish? No - we don't, but many technical people in Finland and France, in the Netherlands and Denmark have English as an excellent second language and can gainfully take our courses - especially those courses which are so niche that there is no alternative ...	2009-08-12 (longest)
1035	Longer hours and better value courses Last year, we started at a quarter to ten on the first day of our courses, and ended at about half past four on the last day. And indeed, hours like those are standard for EVERY day at some other establishments. How long lunch takes can be a significant factor too! This year, we're starting daily ...	2009-01-04

56	Dress Code I was told during last week's course that I'm much more approachable that I look in my picture and I'm delighted with that, though at the same time wondering if I should change the picture concerned to one that's a little less formal. I'm following a conversation on a list server concerning dress for ...	2008-05-10

1459	Interactive training, and advancing techniques further One of the unusual things about the way that I train is that I write examples in front of my classes - I don't just go through cases that have been prepared ahead of time. Not only does that mean that I can show people what they want to see rather that what I have guessed they want to see, but it also ...	2007-12-05
1420	The Learning Perl crew, October 2007 All of our delegates are special, and 99% of them are a pleasure to teach - but I'll look back on last week's group with a particular fondness. We've been open and running as a hotel now for a year, and - more and more - our public courses aren't just 9 to 5 events. Rather they're a chance to share ...	2007-11-04
1363	One computer per delegate, or pair programming? We provide one laptop computer per delegate during our courses, and we're proud to do so - such a scheme works well for the majority of most of our programming courses, with each individual from his / her own company having practical coding exprience during the course. However - for certain exercises ...	2007-09-25
1245	Ensuring that our tutor answers YOUR questions On our public courses, we get a wide variety of delegates - ranging from those with very little prior knowledge of the subject that they're learning right through to some delegates who are attending more to "dot i's and cross t's". And then the subjects that we teach have such a huge variety of different ...	2007-06-25

And it turned out to be something that I look back to with some pleasure as it did so much for me. In other words, it was a huge benefit. It provided ...	2006-06-09
