Dear All,

 

As in previous years we are running HBSMR Introduction and System Administration courses in both March and September of 2009.

Both courses are 2 or 3 days in duration (the 3 day courses include GIS components) and are currently scheduled as follows:

 

Introduction to HBSMR

=================

3rd-5th March 2009

1st -3rd September 2009

 

HBSMR System Administration

=======================

24th-26th March 2009

29th Sept - 1st October 2009

 

We have frozen the costs of these courses at last year's prices - £375 per person for the 2 day courses and £560 per person for the 3 day courses (including lunch).

 

A brief summary of both courses can be found below, and more information (including the booking form) is available on our website at http://www.esdm.co.uk/esdmtraining.asp.

 

If you wish to attend any of these courses please ensure you book as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

 

Regards,
