[Leeoakley]

I am working my way through....as you can imagine I have had to send out a lot of emails

 

I have pulled someone in to help me.

 

Apologies for the delay!

@Leeoakley - Do you have a London based training centre?

[Leeoakley]

Unfortunately not....

 

However, If we get enough interest in any given area of the UK, we run satellite courses. If you form a trust or link in with a network of schools, you can quite easily gather a few local technicians and deliver something from your location (we bring all the kit)

 

For example we are running courses for a group of schools in Shropshire and then another in Cheshire around the Feb half term.

 

If you have a few technicians onsite (3-4) you could run also run closed solution for just your team and it would be pretty cheap using the grant. These closed courses are good value as you can tailor the courses so that you get what you really need.

 

Again, If you let me know what kind of tech training you're interested in, I can give you some ballpark figures.

 

Example:

Basically each delegate can half the cost of up to £1000 for any course (onsite or public schedule). So if an onsite course, for up to 10 delegates, for a 3 day WS2012R2:Server Administration course costs £3500 and you had 4 technicians interested, you would be paid back £1750.00 through the grant. You get approval on the grant before the delivery so you cant really go wrong, as you know the money will be paid back after delivery.

 

50% of the course cost is the maximum you can claim back for any single course.

 

There was a similar grant a while ago aimed at directors, this is the first one I've come across of technical staff. Maybe the Government are finally realising whats important

 

 

I hope I've made sense!

Over the last few days we have had some problems with our email host. If any anyone has tried to contact me and their email has bounced, please could you resend your emails, as everything is now up and running again.

 

:mad:This is what I've been like all day on the phone to the provider

Hi Lee. Any news on if this applies to the boyos and girlos in wales?

 

Ta!

[mikeprice]

me too please - in fact posting it in general would probably help everyone

[Leeoakley]

Just waiting for a phone call on the "wales" question as soon as i have it i will be back on here to let you know!

[Leeoakley]

Just had this through:

 

"The organisation needs to be registered in England. They can have members of staff who work in a Wales office, who can do the training though.

 

The training also has to be delivered in England."

 

He has gone off now to try and find out if there is an equivalent in Wales......sorry for the bad news

[Leeoakley]

I think I have responded to everyone. If anyone has been missed, please give me a nudge.

[Devontechie]

@Leeoakley I'd like the details please. I'll drop you an email in a bit.

Recently completed a course with Neos and was a great course to be on, and a nice place to train. Alan made it very clear that he knew his stuff and had real life experience, not just text book reading, and he made the sessions engaging and interesting. Would recommend to others.

Hi Lee, is this still valid? if so please pop me the link

 

Cheers

Chris

[Leeoakley]

Glad you enjoyed it.

 

 

Still valid Chris.

 

Do you know what training you need or do you want to have a chat first?

A friend of mine on youtube has training videos on 2012.

 

Search for Eli the computer guy and look through his videos.

[mikeprice]

Have a look at CBT Nuggets Windows Server 2012 videos for the 70-410. It includes Server Migration videos on there that will help you learn on how to migrate hopefully swiftly and successfully! As well as difference requirements needed for everything. That's what I used for my learning. Good luck!
