U-Choose - ends 'Course Cancelled' frustration

NOW YOU CAN CHOOSE THE OPEN TRAINING COURSE YOU WANT, WHERE YOU WANT IT AND WHEN YOU WANT IT Ever had your training course cancelled because not enough people booked on it? Or travelled long distances to get to the training venue? These frustrations are a thing of the past with the launch of the super convenient and flexible U-Choose training product from PTP Training and Marketing Ltd.

"U-Choose is a brilliant and simple concept which is already getting an enthusiastic welcome. It puts companies fully in control of their training plans, enabling them to get their staff trained on a wide range of open courses, with minimum travelling time, on days at their convenience," explains Marc Holland, PTP managing director.

"With U-Choose, clients can select from any of twenty-one one-day management, sales and customer care courses; any of 76 venues located throughout the UK; and from any date at least six weeks in advance."

"U-Choose is so easy. All we ask is that clients make a minimum of two bookings on the same course and date and we will guarantee to run it. This gives us six weeks to market the course. We promise clients we will never exceed ten delegates on any of our courses."

"PTP has been running public courses for managers, sales and customer service staff since 1991. This year we have scheduled over 200 courses in six UK cities, but no matter how many dates we schedule and no matter how many venues we hold them in, we are still not satisfying all our customers' needs. They want a particular course, such as Finance for Non-Finance Managers, in a town and on a date that suits them. This is where we feel our new product U-Choose will fill a gap in the market."

It's what we've been waiting for ... "U-Choose is exactly the product we have been waiting for," says James Walker managing director of BRS Truck Rental. "We prefer PTP's highly interactive training style and guarantee of small groups. However, they have not always scheduled courses when and where we want them. U-Choose is great. If I want to book a course in Exeter or Warrington, now I can."

Courses cost £275 + vat per person. This includes lunch and refreshments throughout the day, framed certification and comprehensive training notes.
