First Alternative - Solaris courses overview

Training Packages - a series of courses with extra discount

As if our courses weren't affordable already, we've gone one better for people who are taking their training seriously. If you already know that one course isn't going to be enough to get you to where you want to be in terms of skills, then you can book a whole package of courses in advance. Packages provide a complete training programme for administrators, and it's the most cost-effective way to become fully competent in your chosen field. Typical costs work out at £200 to £210 per day.
