UK Software Testing Training Course Public Schedule 2008
Competence Development Portfolio
The 2008 schedule of public courses offers a wide choice and flexible timetable; most courses are run a few times a year. All courses can be customised and run in-house to meet any particular need.
The training and competence development portfolio falls into three categories.
- A number of courses are in constant demand and are included in the public course schedule. Early booking of these courses is recommended.
- A number of other courses are subject to ongoing, but less predictable, demand and public courses are scheduled as required; most are run twice a year. Should you wish to attend one of these courses please advise us of your interest and preferred timeframe.
- We also have a substantial library of courseware which is more suitable for customised in-house courses and workshops. These are listed below and we will be pleased to discuss your specific requirements.
