Tailored to You

The durations above are for our standard courses. These can be tailored in advance to trim items that are not relevant to your business or to add others which you need in more detail, with the durations adjusted accordingly.  For courses delivered to one or two people tailoring can be done on the fly if required.  We can adjust our courses to better match your starting skill levels.  Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

There for You After the Course

With Alpaca we know that trying stuff out for yourself after finishing a course can be daunting.  We don't just abandon you.  Attendees are welcome to contact us for help by phone, via email or using messaging software for a week after the course. We leave a gap between courses for this purpose, as well as to prepare thoroughly for our next offering. All of this is included in our price.

Hands-on

At Alpaca we believe that people learn best by doing.  All our courses are heavily hands-on. You'll come away with the confidence that you can do everything we teach, because you'll have done it on the course.

Course Manual & Resources

 The course manual and other useful resources will be made available to attendees after the course via our online attendees area. You can use this to onward teach within your organisation if you like
