Training courses scheduled for 2007

Over the last ten years, over 30,000 delegates have benefited from courses and presentations delivered by Kingswell experts. You may have seen them at conferences like UKCMG; COMSEC; COMPSEC, EUROSEC, IDIMS (Malta), COMPACS; CHARTEC; CP&M (USA), FACILITIES MANAGEMENT, TELEBUSINESS (South Africa), IT STRATEGY FORUM (UAE), at vendor user group conferences and dozens more. Our speakers have presented at leading management colleges and universities.

We have presented in-company training internationally for leading multi-nationals and smaller, dynamic organizations. SkillsXfer is a product unique to Kingswell and enables one or two individuals to receive personalised coaching, training and skills transfer in any of the topics covered by our training at a price competitive with attendance at a public course. This is ideal where training is needed when there is no public workshop conveniently scheduled.

We are unique in promoting the Business Survival Pack - an integrated series of courses covering business continuity, service management and quality management. We provide a wide range of tailored and standard courses (see overleaf) which delegates find educational, motivating - and enjoyable.

Typical delegate comments are:

"Excellent presenter. Well paced and good content."

"Very enjoyable and helpful day"

"Comprehensive, logical, step-by-step"

"Informative and very well delivered. An important contribution to an increasingly significant aspect of I.T."

"Excellent course which for me fulfilled all the objectives in attending"

Delegates from most of the Fortune 1,000 companies have attended public and in house courses and workshops delivered by Kingswell.

In-house workshops are particularly cost-effective, saving delegate travelling time and cost and offering reduced delegate rates. Special discounts are available for organisations committing to over 10 days/year of Kingswell training. Kingswell courses not only save money, but they are more productive: they can be targeted specifically at your client organisation's current issues and take into account your culture and organisation.
