About Our Training

Properly trained employees are more likely to be motivated and loyal than those left to fend for themselves. And you know how expensive replacing people can be.

As well as training for our bespoke databases, we provide training for various applications for Apple Macs. All our training sessions are designed to get you and your team up to speed. And our courses can be run from your premises, to reduce work disruption and business travelling expenses, and to improve familiarity. And we can provide assessment forms for the staff being trained if you prefer.

Please call Eric to discuss any training requirement and for a quote. After a call or a visit to your premises to discuss your needs, we can prepare bespoke training courses to match your staff skill levels or any other specific requirement if needed.

We can also do one-to-one training if required.

Keep popping back to have a look at this page, our training will be expanding in the coming months to include Word, Powerpoint, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Automator and AppleScript.

There is no question, I am one of Eric's small clients, however, at no time have I been made to feel small, either as an individual or as a source of revenue. Looking back it has all seemed remarkably painless and I have to say, now it's hard to recognise myself as the technophobe I was.
