Host training courses: Hands On Computer Systems Training

Host aims to give the IT professional a sound working knowledge of the product we train them in and a principal feature of Host courses is the emphasis on the "Hands-on" element. Any technical training must contain some theory but Host concentrate on that detail which is essential in order to understand the operation of the product, or which has practical application in the workplace. Abstract topics are avoided; allowing more time to be spent on practical matters and hands on sessions. The objective is to equip the delegate with the necessary skills and confidence to maintain and repair the equipment.

At Host we are currently the only independent HP Authorised Technical Training Centre in the UK, and are also accredited by IBM to deliver their authorised training programs.

Training and expertise available from Host covers an ever-evolving range of products from HP, IBM, Sun, SNIA, CompTIA and includes Enterprise Servers and Storage Systems, PCs, Printers, Networking Products and Peripherals.

Training can be delivered on customer sites or at a venue of choice, either utilising customer equipment or supplying our own, tailoring delivery to suit individual requirements, both in terms of equipment, content and duration.

Host’s instructors are dedicated full-time training staff, not contractors, only very occasionally are outside trainers employed. This has the benefit of continuity and course cancellations are extremely rare. Classes are kept small, typically to a maximum of six delegates to facilitate a better learning environment.
