If you have a group of people who need training, instead of sending them one at a time on one or more of our standard training courses, you can book the whole day and for £550 plus VAT we will train up to 5 people in one go. That works out at £110 per person for a group of 5, compared with the normal cost of £140 per person (£700 plus VAT). You also get the day to yourself, allowing some degree of freedom. Additional trainees on the same course will be charged at £100 each per day.
If our trainer comes to you then there will be additional travel, subsistence and accommodation charges, otherwise the above rates apply.
Pick from any of our standard training courses (Introduction, Intermediate, Advanced, Land Surveyors, Engineering Surveyors, 3D Visualisation, Visual Impact Analysis or any Workshop). Please see individual course content against each course.

This course is based on any level of LSS (LSS Solo, LSS Vista or LSS Elite). It is particularly suited to organisations who have a specific set of requirements and feel that one of our 'off-the-shelf' courses may not quite fit the bill. The advantage of our Bespoke course is that you can train up to 5 people for £750 plus VAT. Additional costs (travel and subsistence) will be charged if we come to you to do the training and will be included in any quote you receive from us. Each additional trainee will be charged at £100 per person per day up to a maximum agreed by us at the time of booking.
Course content by arrangement.
Client to provide a written summary of aims / subjects to be covered and a brief synopsis of each trainee. This allows training to be tailored to their experience.
Client to provide relevant data (and explanations) with which trainees are familiar one week before the course.
