Training courses for specialist subjects are difficult to provide to individuals. If the subject matter is widely in demand then one can schedule public courses knowing that of the hundreds that want to do the course a core number will book places for the scheduled dates.
For more specialist courses like for example "Business Architecture" conventional training usually only can be organised for groups of people within businesses. This is how most of the business architecture courses that we have run at Dever Solutions have run historically.
Frequently it is a team which is wanting to build up a business architecture capability and wishes to use the course to facilitate its building process - this has worked well for many of our clients over the last two years or so.
However several times during the year we get individuals wanting to book on to a course but there is never enough who want to do it at the same time! It would be unfair to recover the full costs from an individual to run a 121 course delivered in a conventional way; it is the fixed costs of paying tutors travel and subsistence that makes this difficult.
In order to solve this issue we will be creating a 121 mentoring version of our popular "Business Architecture An Approach For Effective Business Design" course using remote delivery and our e-learning portal.

This won't be just slide packs and resourses but scheduled lecturing time with tutors using conference call - audio and visual - and other remote delivery techniques.
This will enable us to price the learning experience at levels affordable to independently financed individuals - contractors and consultants and the like. At the moment the ability to deliver a course to less than 4-5 people on one occasion, particularly away from our home territory, is restricting its access to many.
