Dear all We have revised our training courses for 2002. Details of courses with schedules and prices can be found on our web site, under Downloads - HBSMR. This link should take you there: http://www.esdm.co.uk/listdownloads.asp?Category=HBSMR Our aims: - to provide appropriate training to new HBSMR operators and administrators to get them started quickly - to provide a range of focussed courses for existing users to continually raise skill levels - to provide a progression of certificated training levels for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) - to give a schedule of courses well in advance to allow SMR managers to plan their training programmes and budgets - to continue to provide flexible training/consultancy for specific purposes if required - to seek endorsement of all of our courses by the Archaeology Training Forum - to ensure that courses are affordable (prices have been kept at 2001 levels) - to seek feedback about our courses so we can continue to develop them in line with user requirements To help us organise and run these courses we have also updated our booking procedures - there is now a booking form to complete. This should help us gauge demand in advance, so we can fill empty places or lay on additional courses if required. We hope HBSMR users and managers will take this opportunity to review their training requirements against the new courses we are offering. These new courses will only succeed and develop if they are well attended, so we look forward to hearing from you!
