Course options

In-house course option

Maximum 12 delegates, held on client premises throughout the UK – please ask for details and date availability.

Requirements - a training room large enough to accommodate the number of attendees. Vulcan will provide projector, laptop and screen for the presentation if required. Delegates will need their own laptops. More space is required for employees to work than for normal training because of the need for laptops and the use of A3 plan drawings during the course.
