Personalised Training

We are happy to provide tailored 1-to-1 training courses using whatever practical delivery means possible to ensure the quality of what we deliver is never impaired.

A recent example was a customer located on RĂ©union Island, east of Madagascar to whom we provided remote 1-to-1 training.

"I've used OpenBSD for many years but only at an elementary level so it was great to learn the basics in a more formal way.

The best part of the course was using the live lab server to do the course exercises. That really helped me consolidate what I was learning.

I really enjoyed the training - it gave me a fantastic insight."

-- Wesley Mouedine Assaby, Reunion Island
