How it Works: The 3-step Booking Process
1. Provisional Bookings
We check availability and you are reserved a spot on the course
without commitment. It's similar to an airline holding a seat for
you. If you do not contact us within 10 working days of the course
to confirm your provisional booking, you simply lose your spot on the
course again.
2. Confirmed Booking
When you are ready to book your course you email or fax us written
confirmation. The booking is treated as an order and an
invoice is issued. Your space on the course is now guaranteed.
3. Joining Instructions
Once you are confirmed on a course, we will send you Joining
Instructions 5-10 working days before the course is due to start.
These contain instructions on the supplier and how to get to your
course, and what time your course starts and finishes.
What quality of training should I expect?
Our standards are tough, and we deal only with the best. All our
suppliers must be approved, certified suppliers. As an example, our
Microsoft courses are delivered by Microsoft Certified Partners for
Learning Solutions (CPLS), delivered by expert Microsoft Certified
Trainers (MCTs). Be it Novell, Citrix, Lotus or even Prince2; if
it's not approved, we won't touch it.
Who uses Aquinas Training?
Government, global corporations, private companies, contractors and consultants.
Most people don't know that we exist. The ones who do use us
every time they book a course.
I need dates that you don't offer.
Give us a quick call, and let us check on your behalf if there
isn't another suitable date we might be able to track down for
you.
Can I book a private trainer?
We can send an approved trainer to a site of your choice, precisely
when you want, where you want. It's one of our most popular
requests. As an approximate guide, your own trainer is about £1,000
per day including travel expenses.
Can I book a training room?
If required, we can provide training rooms with configured PCs for approximately £500 per day.
I still have a few questions...
Call us, talk to us, get to know us. Our experienced course assistants are friendly, and will
gladly answer any questions you might have.
What happens if I cancel a course or change my mind?
You can select a replacement course or we will simply cancel the
course. It's important you let us know at least 16 working days prior to the
start of the course otherwise you will need to pay the full amount of
the course. Please see our Terms and Conditions for more detailed
information.
