Why are we experts in Technical IT training ?
Putting your staff through lengthy and expensive certified courses is not always the right option. Pentland help to cover the right content that your team needs in the minimum amount of time. A good recent example is a client who approached us saying that they did not want their 8 people to go through three official Microsoft courses totalling 15 days, and were looking for a more flexible practical solution. Pentland developed a course for them that covered only the topics they needed with an 8-day duration, delivered on their own site, and at a fraction of the cost of the alternative solution. They were so pleased with the results they then came back to us for a similar solution for their Oracle and UNIX training requirements.
