Dear All
Just to say that there are still a very limited number of places available on these courses so please let me know as soon as possible if you wish to attend one or both.
I have had a couple of queries from members of the list regarding the content of each course. Well for their benefit and anyone else who might be wondering exactly what you will get for your hefty delegate fee please find the information that CSDirect provides below. Please excuse the length of this email.
Thanks
Rod

Understand the structure of the Innovative database including:

Test load profiles before putting them into production

Subject: Innovative Load Profile & ASAA Training - Tue 21st-Thu 23rd April - City University
Dear All
Apologies for the delay but we now have confirmed details for two upcoming official Innovative training sessions - one for Load Profile and the other for Advanced Systems Access & Administration (ASAA). These sessions are scheduled for the end of next month and will be held at City University in London. The Load Profile training will be on Tue 21st-Wed 22nd April and the trainer will be Nancy Quan. The ASAA training will be held on Thu 23rd April and, for this session, the trainer will be Eva Lachonius. Both of the trainers are normally based at Innovative HQ in the States.
Prices for the training remain as previously circulated - $1500 (currently £1058) for the Load Profile training and $750 (£529) for the ASAA course. Innovative will invoice attendees directly following the training.
A number of people have already signed up for the training but there are still a small number of places still available on both courses. So if you haven't previously expressed an interest in attending these sessions but are now interested then please let me know as soon as possible as it should still be possible for you to secure a place. It would be sensible to move as quickly as possible, however, as there is a strict maximum of twelve attendees in total for each session.
Thanks
Rod
