Areas of Specialist Training

With a formidable reputation for quality and expertise within the UNIX, Oracle, Linux and MySQL arena, StayAhead Training enjoy an enviable position amongst the top IT Technical training organisations in the UK.

The UNIX curriculum not only covers standard UNIX but includes a range of Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Java, PHP, SUSE, LPI & Red Hat Linux training.  The Oracle curriculum also has depth with courses available for DBA's, Developers and End Users.  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.

Our flexibility comes from developing our own independent courses, including high quality course material that is not only written to support the learning process but can also act as a helpful reference guide on the delegates return to work.  A high level of practical work with a guaranteed workstation per delegate re-enforces the learning process.

In addition to the public schedule of courses provided, StayAhead offer courses on the client's site or as a special at a StayAhead location.  These courses can be tailored to meet the client's specific needs.  For courses at the clients site StayAhead can provide all the necessary hardware and software.

Our Training Approach

The core activity of StayAhead Training has always been training.  We do not supply hardware, software or recruitment services.  This policy has certainly served our business well with year on year growth and our clients well with very high levels of repeat business.

Our approach has always been enthusiastic yet business like, informal yet professional.  Whether our delegates attend a StayAhead Training scheduled course or an on-site course we approach each event in a professional manner earning us a formidable reputation for quality.

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