Having been a teacher for over twenty years, I was acutely aware of how many in-service training courses failed to
meet the expectations of teachers.
Typically, there would be too many delegates, too much waffle and a nice lunch.
A week later and I would be thinking...
"What was all that about? How has it helped me?"

We decided to provide better training courses that gave teachers knowledge and tools along with the
confidence to use them in the classroom.

We provide subject specific courses to enhance teaching and learning through the use of ICT.
We specialise in Design Technology, with particular emphasis on CAD CAM.

Unlike many training providers, we have our own fully equipped training centre in Basildon, Essex, thus
ensuring a day free from distraction. The centre has a suite of high spec multimedia computers with broadband
connection and an interactive whiteboard.

We have a strict limit of five delegates on any course, thus ensuring adequate personal attention.
Typically there will be four or five delegates per course.

Our courses are creative, with the emphasis on collaborative learning.

Our courses include Prodesktop 8.0 Accredited Teacher, Prodesktop 8.0 Advanced, Pro/ENGINEER,

Software used includes Pro/DESKTOP 8.0, Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 3, Techsoft 2D Design Tools, Boxford Geocam, CAM Studio, Pro/WIZ and Spiral Graphics.

We also provide consultancy for Design Technology departments, with particular emphasis on CADCAM and
workshop layout.
