One of the replies suggests that blackboard send over trainers from the US – this is no longer the case, they have a training centre based in Amsterdam who have delivered this training to our team here last year.  It is not of course free but is priced in comparison to other commercial training.

 

For one or two users the cheapest way will be to attend a training course in Amsterdam (with cheap flights this will probably cost less than going to London say!) but another  option is to gather a group of candidates from other local universities and bring the trainer there.  Whilst you do have to pay the trainers expenses in addition to the fee  it is cost effective for about 8 -10 people – contrary to the myths abounding their trainers do not fly first class or stay in 5 star hotels so the expenses are usually reasonable.

 

We also found that the trainers on the ground will adapt to your needs when running the training.  Pepijn Kallis undertook our training and we found him to be excellent
