Obtaining the best development contracting and training for your organisation may be your first preference. F1 is aware that sometimes funding this standard of training is a problem.

To help customers with this F1 have introduced a number of initiatives suited for both individuals and organisations.

The F1 'Save As You Learn' programmes are designed for employers and developers who want the best deal for their training needs.  The F1 Training Voucher Scheme is designed to provide organisations with a flexible training package that has substantial savings and reduces administration.

What are F1 Vouchers?

They are packages of between 25 to 60 days of training pre-purchased from F1 at a substantial discount, up to 41%, which has significant advantages over booking courses one seat at a time.

• They enable organisations to achieve the following:

• Get entire project teams up to speed quickly, whenever the need arises.

• Provide training to new employees.

• Train Anyone – Anytime.

Advantages of F1 Vouchers:

• F1 Vouchers are a cost-effective and flexible solution for organisations with individuals whose training requirements vary from a single course to an entire series of courses.

• Training Vouchers are convenient and easy to use. With the flexibility of Training Vouchers, you can satisfy your training requirements as they evolve throughout the year with F1 training at substantial savings.

• Discounted Training - make significant savings off the cost of purchasing training one seat at a time.

• 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 your developer is back at work on the fifth day.   

• Simplified Budgeting - lock in your budget by purchasing your package when funding is available.

• Price Protection - lock in savings for twelve months from the date of purchase.

• Reduced Purchasing Effort - eliminate the time and money spent approving training purchases throughout the year.

• Simple Administration – just call to book a place on a course.

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

• Less Hassle - Just one justification and purchase order buys your F1 Voucher. Booking each course is then simply a phone call away

F1 Computing Can Help

F1 Computing is one of the leading development companies in its field and use this expertise to ensure that its training clients have both the theoretical knowledge supplied by Microsoft curriculum and the practical knowledge that only a development company can give.

How Much Does It Cost & what are the savings?

Real Savings up to 60% compared with 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 than our competitors. For example, the VB 6 Enterprise course (1016) is a five-day course with most of our competitors but we hold it in four days and only charge the four-day price, saving an additional 20% on the cost of the course. We can do this as we limit class sizes to a maximum of six delegates.
