New Training Suite – Coventry

Standard Classroom Courses

We are delighted to announce that we are now able to offer classroom training courses in Coventry. The training suite is very well situated, being directly opposite the main train station and easily accessed from the M6 motorway.

The training suite is in Synaptic Systems’ offices, acquired by Capita in November 2006 to complement the acquisition of Quay and Webline in November 2005.

Currently we have dates in the Coventry training suite for our two-day ‘Getting Started’ course scheduled until the end of the year and we are taking requests for all our other standard classroom courses to gauge demand.

For courses other than those detailed in the table below you will be put on a waiting list until demand is high enough and we can schedule dates. We are not expecting you to be on a waiting list for long as we anticipate that the demand will be quite high, as this centre provides a viable solution for businesses that would prefer to be trained away from their own offices but for whom our Bishop's Stortford training suite is too inaccessible.

The table below shows the dates available for the two-day ‘Getting Started’ course in Coventry until the end of this year:

Month Dates
August 16th and 17th (10.00–16.00 both days)
September 13th and 14th (10.00–16.00 both days)
October 11th and 12th (10.00–16.00 both days)
November 15th and 16th (10.00–16.00 both days)
December 13th and 14th (10.00–16.00 both days)

The cost (per day) for standard classroom courses is £200.00 per delegate (plus VAT), therefore the cost of the two-day Getting Started course is £400 per delegate.

Private Courses:

Many of our clients hire out our training facilities in our head office at Bishops Stortford for private courses and this facility will also be available in the Coventry Centre. The cost of this is £750.00 (plus VAT per day*) and includes a light lunch and refreshments during the day and, of course, the trainer to conduct the session! We can accommodate up to 8 delegates on a private course and we are happy to work with you to create an agenda for the training to ensure that the content of the day(s) you book meets your businesses needs.

*training days are from 10.00–16.00.
