F1 is 25 Years Old in 2012!

How about that! F1 is fast approaching 25 Years old! Sometimes we thought we would never make it, but here we are, looking better than ever. We are now BY FAR the LONGEST LASTING MICROSOFT LEARNING PARTNER IN THE UK!

Competitors have come and gone while F1 has survived by staying focused to its core business model of providing the best and most personal training we possibly can in CLASSES WITH A MAXIMUM OF 6 DELEGATES.

We want to invite our customers to help us celebrate and we have created this page to be the main source for ideas and plans over the coming year.

We will update this page over the coming twelve months with information relating to how we intend to continue to celebrate our 25 years in business.

The best and most personal training:

What we think has contributed to the success of F1 Computing Systems over the past twenty five years:

  • Friendly and relaxed learning environment.
  • Class sizes limited to a maximum of six students ensures a much more personal and effective training experience.
  • Highly qualified & motivated trainers.
  • Lunches at local restaurants.
  • F1 Training Vouchers for Businesses and Individuals.
  • Flexible paths to Microsoft Certification.
  • Training centres conveniently located in Bath and London.
  • Comfortable training rooms with 4 foot desks and ample space for legroom.
  • 1 PC for each delegate.
  • A ‘no pressure’ Sales team whose main goal is to meet and exceed our customers’ expectations.
  • Rather than disappoint customers, F1 will always try and run courses even if, due to low demand, they run with only a few students and will be unprofitable.

We want feedback from you!
If there is enough demand to make any of our other courses viable we will definitely consider running them. Please send an email to 25years@f1comp.co.uk  detailing the course, date and location you would like to have included.

PS Please pass on this email to your friends or colleagues if you think they might be interested. New customers are always welcome.
