Training Courses

All Tinuviel Software's products have been designed from the outset to be useable without extensive training. One of our primary goals has always been to create programs which could provide results for the casual user, but also have a range of extra features for the experienced user. Our helpful customer support hotline usually provides sufficient assistance to most customers. However, we recognise that some users do have a requirement for formal training.

The following courses are therefore offered to customers in a peaceful location at our Anglesey headquarters. Most of these courses can be completed in a single day and they all include demonstrations, hands-on exercises and question/answer sessions.

The cost for a one-day course (up to four people - total price) is £200 Sterling (€315). This includes a buffet lunch. We can collect you from Holyhead rail/ferry terminal or from Anglesey airport. If you require overnight accomodation, we can recommend local hotels.
