As the subject of traiing is coming up regularly I thought I would enclose
more details on the type of training that we are currently offering.
This is intended at people able to affect the physical environment -
building and accomodation managers, rather than the support mode.
Ideally aimed at groups of 12-15 people
Cost stlg 500 plus expenses and VAT per day, with discounts for extra days.
The course is aimed at afecting the thought processes rather than only
passing on information - we want to educate on 'basic' principles, so that
the participants can address issues with 'common sense'.
These courses really do tend to convert the most hardened architects and
designers!
I have enclosed a typical one day format.
I also point out to the participants that I am not a 'trainer', I am a
'do-er'. The courses are designed to pass on my experience in the field, and
use real case studies from buildings that we have done design work on!
None the less, courses are designed to be fun and informative.
I am happy to provide further information if anyone wishes - sorry to use
dis-forum airtime. If anyone is interested then they should communicate
direct with me 'off-air' at [log in to unmask]
Thanks
James
