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

We'll run private courses at your offices wherever they are in the UK and Ireland. If you're located elsewhere in the EU, we can also run a longer course at your office (it's not worth us travelling for 1 or 2 days). You don't pay for the tutor's travel time - just travel expenses based on a formula that's built in to our web site quotation system ... and we bring a workstation for each trainee to use, notes, projector, books, .... you just provide a room and the students and we'll be set up and running within ah hour of arriving on the first morning.Onsite training - expenses
On the Oban Road
Pay on the day - not months in advance!

3131	Lua, Tcl, Python; Worldwide training classes The subjects we teach are used worldwide - there's just as much requirement to learn about Python in Salerno as there is in Swindon, about Tcl in Milwaukee as there is in Manchester, and about Lua in Buffalo as there is in Birmingham.

2956	On site course - travel and accommodation expenses Should we charge our customers when we go on site for our journey to them, and the costs of staying over if need be? In common with our industry's standard, we do charge; when you think about it, that's sensible - otherwise our local customers would be subsidizing people who are based a long way away. ...	2010-09-21
2928	Public (scheduled) or private course? Book direct, or through a third party?

I'm enjoying the course, the delegates are getting a lot from it (THAT is the ...	2010-06-28
2810	A course review - for the tutor to complete A Course is for the delegates .... but it's really nice if the tutor gets a little out of it too. And usually I do! I run private courses at Company's offices on a regular basis - about 30% of my teaching time is on the road. I always ask my delegates to complete course evaluation forms as they provide ...	2010-06-18

2311	Floor to ceiling From floor to ceiling, this is a new training room this week. And from floor to ceiling, it is eventful.

1781	Reception The slight young girl, perhaps aged about 17, was dressed in army fatigues. She waved her automatic rifle at me and ordered me to move away from my car.

1027	Cue the music, I'm happy. I'm not musical ... but this song keeps jigging around in my head. "I'm back in the saddle again.
