Why Choose F1 for your Microsoft Training 
(Print Flyer in PDF format)  What is PDF?

Reasons in Detail

  • Maximum of 6 Delegates per Course - This means each delegate receives more personal attention. Compare our class sizes to all other training companies who often have up to 15 delegates per class. 

    It has been proven over and over again in independent surveys that small class sizes give consistently better results. top

  • F1 has more MCSD trainers than any other MCPLS (CTEC) site in UK - F1 is focused exclusively on Microsoft Developer Training. As developers ourselves, we understand the real needs of developers and tune our training to meet those needs. 

    While qualifications alone do not necessarily equate to good teaching, they do demonstrate that the trainer has a comprehensive knowledge of Microsoft development products, both in theory and in practice. top

  • Free Training Reviews - (Print Flyer in PDF format)
    Often training is viewed as an after-thought when business decisions have already been made. As a result organisations sometimes find themselves with limited budgets and are uncertain as to which of the multiplicity of training options is right for them. F1's free training review helps you align training with your business goals and objectives. 

    We can arrange a free onsite visit by one of our developer/trainers to discuss your goals, explain the pros and cons of different training strategies and how they can be tuned to meet your objectives within the budget and timescale limits of your organisation. top

  • Bespoke Onsite Training Solutions - (Print Flyer in PDF format)    Sometimes scheduled training is not the best solution to a customer's needs. Frequently we find that choosing onsite courses enable customers to fine tune the course to meet their particular requirements. 

    Also in many cases, onsite training is very cost effective compared to scheduled courses.  Travel and accommodation expenses for students is minimised. F1 is even able to supply pre-configured training PCs, saving customers a great deal of time and effort in setting up a course. top
  • e-Learning with a Difference! - (Print Flyer in PDF format)    e-Learning is the latest buzz word in the learning industry.  It appears to offer a good solution - developers can learn the new technologies when and where they want, without having to be away from the office attending a scheduled course.  

    However, the reality is somewhat different to this.  Configuring a PC for a specific training course can take over 4 hours and often necessitates formatting the PC. So, F1 offers its e-Learning customers the option to purchase at cost a pre-configured portable training PC.  F1 also gives e-Learning students the option of a hassle-free conversion to the equivalent classroom based course, if they need to. top

  • Delegate Path to Microsoft Certification -  We help delegates prepare for Microsoft certification. All of our trainers are MCSD qualified and understand what is needed to pass Microsoft MCP exams.  We also offer advice on the best pre-test revision options including mock exams and revision books. top

  • Trainers with Real Development Experience - Our trainers have experience of developing real life systems.  They know that Microsoft theory does not always work out in practice.  They give students genuine insights into how Microsoft technologies can be implemented effectively in their own environment. top

  • Free Systems Reviews - Delegates can bring along their own systems/problems for examination at lunchtime and after hours or, security permitting, incorporate them in the classroom.  Often problems that seem difficult to the individual developer, can be easily solved with the help of our trainer/developers. top

  • Lifetime Post Course Support  - F1 operate a full time dedicated Technical Support Help Desk which is available to any student attending a F1 course.  Problems are often resolved by the support desk and if not, it is escalated to our development teams and trainer developers for resolution. top

  • More Reasons.....

We make learning fun - Intense learning environment combined with pub and restaurant lunches. We think that training should be enjoyed if it is to provide the maximum value to the student.  At lunchtimes students vote as to which of the six or more restaurants and pubs they would like to visit that day. top

F1 have offices in London, Bath and Manchester  - Choose the location that suits you best. Each office is air-conditioned and spacious.  Again at F1, the training needs of students is paramount and we are of the opinion that a good working environment maximises the learning experience. top

F1’s philosophy is lifetime learning - We think that this is an absolute necessity in the 21st century. F1 has developed a partnership with many of its customers to advise on the current and future training and development needs of its IT employees.  We can conduct formal or informal Training Needs Analysis reviews and help customers and employees adjust their training to meet their changing development requirements. top
