Training courses
The list above details a selection of courses offered by a range of product/equipment manufacturers, consultancy companies and independent training organisations.
Cost
Some of these courses are free of charge if buying new equipment or changing suppliers. For others, we have listed the cost of the course and accommodation if appropriate, excluding VAT if applicable.
The cost normally includes coffee and lunch and any course literature. Some courses provide all the necessary protective equipment except footwear. Make sure you check exactly what you need to take with you.
Accommodation
We have indicated whether accommodation is included in the price. You will need to check if bed, breakfast and evening meal are offered. It may be a good idea for delegates to take up accommodation if it is on offer, as a great deal can be learned in the relaxed atmosphere of the bar or restaurant, away from the watchful eye of the course tutor. As before, if you have specific queries, we recommend you contact the relevant company direct.
