The UNIX curriculum not only covers standard UNIX but includes a range of Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, Linux, SUSE, LPI & Red Hat Linux training. The Oracle curriculum also has depth with courses available for DBAs, Developers and Designers. If certification is important to you then again we do not disappoint taking delegates to the level required to take the examinations in Solaris, Red Hat, SUSE, LPI, MySQL, Oracle Forms Developer and Oracle DBA. With the Oracle e-business suite growing in popularity a range of Oracle Financials courses are also available.

StayAhead's training flexibility comes from developing their own courses that include high quality course material, written not only to support the learning process, but can also act as a helpful reference guide on the delegates return to work.

In-house IT training

In addition to the public schedule of courses provided, StayAhead offer all courses in-house at a client's site, or at a StayAhead location. All courses can be tailored to meet our clients' specific needs. For courses at the client's site StayAhead can provide all the necessary hardware and software.

StayAhead's focus on IT training

StayAhead understands the best approach for such technical IT training is always to be enthusiastic, business-like, informal yet professional. Whether delegates attend a StayAhead Training scheduled course or an on-site course, each event is approached in a professional manner.

StayAhead's style of delivery is designed to foster the development of learning. Instructor led tutorials are followed by practical exercises. The style is experiential allowing delegates to take ownership and solve problems for themselves. Research shows that the pace of learning is greatly accelerated when delegates are shown HOW to solve their problems rather than just why they should.
