12. Method of Delivery of Training

Public Scheduled courses will be held at PTR's purpose-built air-conditioned training centre in Wokingham, near Reading. A whole floor is dedicated to training and each room is equipped with a PC per person for practical work. PTR tend to restrict class sizes, as they believe this insures interaction and attention between trainer & delegates alike. Additionally, PTR can provide training at the customer's site on a group basis or one to one. In addition to the public schedule of courses, PTR also deliver institution specific courses that can be customised to include specific topics or satisfy particular requirements.

PTR write and produce all course material, including a series of Microsoft courses geared towards the Microsoft examinations for both Windows NT4 and Windows 2000/2003. Their lecturers are non-text book trainers; a combination of real knowledge and hands on experience in the areas they teach has proven to be invaluable. In addition, PTR are an approved Microsoft Certified Solutions Provider. All their courses include training manual, refreshments and lunch.
