We have also re-formatted our entire back catalog to produce page size specific versions for North America and Europe.

Can I use the training materials to deliver 'Distance Learning' over the Internet (or Intranet)?
Many trainers use our manuals for tutor-led training sessions, followed by the students using the workbooks to practice the knowledge gained during the training session. The manuals are an excellent reference after the course as they have a 'how to do' format.
In some cases organizations use our materials to supplement Computer Based Training packages. This is an excellent, low cost additional training resource!
In other cases organizations use our materials as a library for self study or open study at a site.
Remember with most of our courses you get:
- A training manual
- A workbook containing examples that can be performed by the student
- Slides covering the major topics within the course
Schools, Colleges and Universities may use the materials on a secure Intranet/LAN to be accessed LOCALLY by members or students of the institution.
No commercial training companies are allowed to place any of our materials on the Internet! If we find such examples, legal action will result!

Are the Courseware Libraries suitable for instructor-led and self paced or open learning?
Different clients tend to use our IT training materials in different ways. Some deliver tutor-led, classroom based training while others use the training materials purely for open, self paced learning. Many clients combine the use of our printed training manuals with computer based training packages supplied by other courseware companies. This last combination adds enormous value to computer based training and gives the students a valuable reference to keep (and use) long after the training course has finished!
