To produce a tailored workshop you must select a set of course modules from our menu list, to form a sensible learning experience. This may encompass additional topics such as ntroducing the context of the current business environment, or to cover local support issues. We often plan time for a general question and answer or tips and tricks session, and/or an unstructured workshop exercise session allowing learners to explore the areas of most interest to themselves, with the course instructor available to provide the right level of guidance. We will gladly help you select the learning modules of most value, and complete the course structure with other sessions as necessary to meet your learning needs.

To produce an integrated workshop you must provide us with the necessary input to customise the workshops. This means providing sample data (such as a database extract and sample reports and other environmental set-up information), so we can simulate your working environment during the course. We also need some meaningful business examples or scenarios so that we can design realistic workshop exercises that will be of value on the course. Typically we run these workshops on Acuma kit with a simulated environment, but as an alternative we could put the training examples onto your kit and run the workshop on the full working environment.

It typically takes one to two days for set-up and familiarisation with the customised environment, and one day to create and document the workshop exercises for each day of delivery. Depending on the modules chosen there may be additional time needed to finalise the structure of the tailored workshop.
