We have been working extensively in Scotland over the last six years, training staff from 20 of the largest companies in the Edinburgh area, mainly working on e-government and financial service projects. Now we are running public courses in Scotland for a wider audience.
our public course is suitable for people at all levels and experience. Webmasters will pick up the latest tricks and ideas, and hear about what is happening at the cutting edge of web content creation. While those with no web experience will be able to take the course easily in their stride.
Location of the course
The course is located at Edinburgh Training Centre, which is centrally located just off the High Street and The Royal Mile. Further details are at Edinburgh Training Centre (www.edintrain.com).
Very good and professional, I can't wait to go out and put some of the ideas into practice!
