      <title>Our virtual instructor-led courses have matured</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>We have now been running virtual instructor led training courses for just under 3 months and have&nbsp;found that our 2 day GIS courses work best when run as&nbsp;4 sessions spread over three days.&nbsp;Trainees have noted&nbsp;a number of interesting benefits to the format:<br />
•&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;ability to use their own copy of their chosen GIS<br />
•&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;time between the sessions to try out the ideas on their own data<br />
•&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;time between sessions to keep up with other work commitments<br />
•&nbsp; &nbsp; and they like the 2.5 to 3.5 hour sessions which is the&nbsp;perfect duration for this type of technical training</p>

<p>These are in addition to the obvious advantage of being able to do the courses without travel or coming into contact with other people.</p>

<p><br />
This is what trainees have said:</p>

<p>•&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<em>I really enjoyed the course and it has opened my eyes to the possibilities. &nbsp;More importantly the delivery was excellent, never a dull moment. &nbsp;Carol was engaging and enthusiastic and had all the answers to any question which I had.&nbsp;</em></p>

<p>•&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<em>You did an amazing job with what would have been very difficult training - very relaxed, friendly and fun approach to the course</em></p>

<p>•&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<em>The course was exceptionally well delivered and the tutor was a brilliant instructor - very patient, encouraging and knowledgeable</em></p>
