A well established UK training organisation specialising in introducing non IT people with little or no experience to the Internet. Duration approximately three hours Multiplex have now been running these training courses since July 1995, their popularity being in the plain language approach with a minimal amount of jargon or technicalities.
Group size is normally between three and a maximum of five, thus allowing everybody to get involved.
Although the session is planned as two and a half hours it is not unusual to continue for about three hours as the groups enthusiasm increases. Lecture notes are provided. Searching the Web for items relating to the companies and individuals attending is used to bring home the relevance of the Internet to everyday business use. All students are requested to fill in a registration form prior to their courses giving details of their computer knowledge, their Internet knowledge and areas of general or special interest. For companies this usually means looking at competitors and customers pages.
