F1 Training Passport Benefits

There are many benefits of the F1 Training Passport. These include:

• Big Savings – you can save up to 41% with an F1 Training Passport.

• Even Better Value - save up to an additional 20% more than any of our competitors - As F1 limits class sizes to 6 delegates we can often train a standard Microsoft course in less time that any other training Supplier. For example our VB 6 Enterprise course (1016) is only 4 days instead of the usual 5 days. You pay only the 4 day price and are back at work on the fifth day.  

• Flexible – You can pick and choose which courses suit you best. As your career develops and your interests change you can change the courses you attend accordingly.

• Gain Skills & Certification – A F1 Training Passport is a one stop decision which allows you to gain the skills you will need in the future and achieve the MCP qualifications that will increasingly be demanded by employers.

• Reduced Administration – one purchase is all that is required. After that you just need to decide which courses you want to attend and when you want to attend them.

• Less Hassle - just one justification and purchase buys your F1 Training Passport. Booking each course is then simply a phone call away.

• Budget and Spend - For individuals in companies, the F1 Training Passport allows you to make one purchase and then use it on training purchases throughout the year.

• Only F1 limits class sizes to a maximum of 6 delegates. Compare this to other training suppliers who have an average of 8 delegates per course. This, in reality, means that you are likely to sit on some courses with 12 or even 15 delegates on them.

• All F1 Training courses include standard Microsoft Official Curriculum (MOC) where available (not cost-cutting in-house manuals supplied by many of our competitors).

• Course Fees - include all standard Microsoft Official Curriculum course materials, F1 course notes (where applicable), a Course Completion Certificate, lunch each day, morning and afternoon refreshments.

How Much Does It Cost?

Real Savings up to 60% compared to our competitors!

In reality, the actual saving on many courses is some 20% higher than the above table as some courses are conducted in a shorter time scale that our competitors. For example, the VB 6 Enterprise course (1016) is a five day course with most of our competitors but we hold in four days and only charge the 4 day price saving an additional 20% of the cost of the course. We can do this as we limit class sizes to a maximum of six delegates.
