MasterSeries Training, Allyson Hall, Johannesburg

Our next date for training has been set :- 28 - 30 Nov 2005. The training wil take place at Allyson Hall, 26 Weltevreden Road, Northcliff.

The training is structured such that those only interested in certain modules only, can come in and out as required. As such a day is priced at R1050 plus VAT, as per the schedule below.

The classes will commence at 8.30 each day. If you are bringing your own machine, please be here by 8.00 so that we can have your system set-up ready for an 8.30 start. If you are not up to date on maintenance, it would be worth coming up to date beforehand, so that you have access to all the functions being covered. If you are using this as an opportunity to evaluate modules prior to purchasing, a demo release can be organised, but will need time to do this, so please come early.
