Customised Training

Customised courses can be designed around your requirements. Courses include a combination of elements from other CELCAT courses, ensuring that your staff have the training that will benefit your institution most.

One-to-one consultancy style training

No matter how long you’ve used a piece of software, there is always something new to learn. Our new one-to-one training is designed to help with this.

Each day of training is divided up into one hour slots during which our trainers sit down with users to discuss how each user works with the software. This means that any suggestions and improvements the trainers make is specifically targeted at the way your institution works.

At the end of the training you receive a report detailing the trainer’s findings and any suggestions they have based on their knowledge and experience to make optimum use of CELCAT software across your site.
