Onsite training is a very effective method to quickly train a team. Since we have written courseware,
articles and published books on various technologies, we can easily adapt and tailor the material for
your particular project and developer needs. Electing to have the class come to you provides a high
ROI by eliminating travel costs and time away from the office while providing some progress on your
project through the tailored solutions presented. The onsite option can be cost effective with as few as
3 attendees.
We will be glad to discuss this option in more detail and review dates that may work for your project team.
