Fast-track MapInfo Professional - 4 day course launched

In May we will run our inaugural Fast-track MapInfo Professional course - a 4 day course which encompasses our Introduction to MapInfo Professional and our MapInfo Professional Advanced training course content. The course will be run from our custom built training suite in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire.

The course costs £925 per delegate, offering a significant saving on the two courses when purchased separately.

David Eagle, Professional Services Manager, comments, ” This course has been launched in response to customer demand. There is an increasing need for people to get up to speed quickly on MapInfo Professional to start delivering business benefits. The 4 day Fast-track course offers delegates the opportunity to immerse themselves in the software, ensuring that they become familiar with its functionality. Each delegate has one month’s free telephone/email technical support after the course to help them apply what they have learned when back in the workplace.”

To book, view our training schedule and then download our booking form.

If you have a number of staff to train, it may be more cost-effective to book a bespoke training course which can be delivered at your site or at our offices. Please call Paula on 01527 556920 if you would like to discuss this or any other training opportunities.
