A booklet containing a brief description of each course as well as maps showing the locations is available on request from Computing Service Reception. Most courses assume basic computing skills. Courses suitable for beginners i.e. requiring no previous experience are marked appropriately, as are those with more specific prequisites. For further details see the individual course descriptions. We welcome any suggestions you might have on aspects of Computing Service training courses such as the range offered, publicity, booking procedure or specific courses.
Registration is essential for the formal, taught courses.
Last-minute bookings are welcome, but people who sign up for a course in advance and arrive in good time will have priority on receiving course notes, practical places, etc. Please cancel your booking if you are unable to attend a course, giving as much notice as possible, as this enables the place to be allocated to someone else and avoids wastage from printing too many copies of the notes, etc. Cancellations may be done via the Web, email or phone as above. There is a standby system for courses which have a limited number of places, all of which have been booked. People offered standby places are invited to turn up 'on spec' in the hope of places becoming available due to cancellations or people simply not turning up in spite of having a confirmed booking.
