[Article updated. We've refitted our training room to give everyone a whole metre of desk front throughout the course. We've doubled our broadband access. We have a new customer lounge. And the same quality courses in Perl, PHP, Tcl/Tk, MySQL and the rest. We say we've moved up from Business Class to First Class]

All public courses are run at our specially fitted training centre in Melksham, Wiltshire.

Each trainee on our public course has exclusive use of a laptop computer for the course duration, including access to our servers and broadband internet access. Public courses are limited to a maximum of 7 trainees, and are presented by our own staff who write the material themselves, and who have practical experience in its application.

Melksham is a town in Wiltshire, about 100 miles west of London. It's easily reached by train (86 minutes from London's Paddington station) or road (just a few miles off the M4 motorway)
