IT Solutions for the small business
Your most valuable assets are the people within your organisation.  If they are not trained properly to use the tools at their disposal then your business will suffer.  The challenge of keeping staff adequately trained whilst expecting them to be productive at the same time is a difficult balancing act.  Often medium/long term goals suffer at the expense of short term expediency and training is put to one side.  Ultimately, it's a vicious circle with no real winners.  But with over 20 years of experience in IT training, we at 50BC believe that we can help you to get better value for money out of your training budget and make that balancing act much easier. 
Key Elements
Our approach to training follows the same philosophy that we embrace elsewhere - that is, we put you at the centre of the activity.  The ten key elements of training with 50BC are:
1.
Flexibility
We can run instructor-led classes at your site for groups of up to 8 or train staff individually.
2. Informality

Our courses are professionally run and carefully structured, but we also recognise that most students learn better in a relaxed, informal training environment.  We try to strike the right balance.
3. Pace
In a classroom environment, students will learn at their own pace and not at the pace of the brightest student in the group.  We can assure you of this.
4. Challenge
 
We don't read off a script and no two courses should ever be the same.   Our training is intended to be challenging and if it's not then we're disappointed.  
5. Exercises 
The provision of structured, open-ended  exercises  ensure that everybody works to the maximum of their ability/experience.
6. Jargon 
We like to think that our training is a "jargon-free" zone.
7. Caring
 
Students are not just numbers - we genuinely care about their progress.
8. Self image 
At the end of training we want our students to go away thinking how well they've done rather than how knowledgeable the instructor is.  The instructor should be a catalyst for fertile exchanges of information and not just acting as an endless source of factual information.
9. Assessment
 
We have available an in-house assessment tool that can measure, quite objectively, how much students have learned during a course - which in itself is a measure of how effective we have been as trainers.   We are totally committed to the concept of assessments, although the choice of whether to employ them or not is exclusively yours.
10. Honesty
Attendance certificates are not handed out at the end of courses and we don't ask students to fill in any "happy sheets".   We are experienced enough to know whether we have done a good job and honest enough to tell you if we haven't.
Portfolio
The majority of our training is focused on Microsoft Access where we can deliver basic, intermediate and advanced level courses.  But our portfolio also includes other Microsoft Office products including Excel and FrontPage as well as Basic PC Skills, the Windows operating system and Microsoft SharePoint.
