CSC is pleased to announce that regular software training is coming soon to a venue near you.

Our Head Office in Leeds continues to be the hub of training activity. However, with engineers' time spent out of the design office having increasing impact on project completion, we are addressing the need to take training to our customers.

Clients are assured of the same high quality training whilst at the same time saving the overhead of travel and accommodation to attend a training course here.

Our regional training venues now span the length and breadth of the UK and Ireland. They include Glasgow, Newry, Dublin, Cork, Bristol, Basingstoke, London and Royal Tunbridge Wells. We aim to be flexible in terms of location and are happy to explore additional venues in other regions. To date we have averaged visits to two regions per month and this service is set to increase in 2009.

A regular delegate at our Dublin centre is Tony Holohan of Nicholas O'Dwyer & Partners. Tony comments - "Nicholas O'Dwyer & Partners are committed to

ensuring that engineers stay current with the latest software enhancements and, at the same time, are available to our clients. Local training allows us to achieve both cost effectively".

Andy Shorthose, CSC's UK Training Manager adds that "Historically CSC has always based training in our Leeds HQ. However in the current climate, engineers are constantly under pressure to achieve more, faster and with less resource. Maximising time is now key to a successful design office and therefore the decision to provide regional training was the next step in our service for users. Engineers are able to visit a local centre, become fully trained by the experts [who have contributed to software development] - and consequently learn to use the software with greater insight and the utmost efficiency".

Clients' feedback indicates that users who are confident in their software knowledge and ability are undoubtedly more proficient than those who play Russian roulette by adopting the expensive trial and error method.

CSC's consultancy team is also available for bespoke training - focusing our solutions on your particular needs and
