Foster Yeoman's Oracle 10g Training Migration Success
August 2005 to date
iTrain Education have recently completed supporting the successful training rollout of Foster Yeoman's Oracle 10g upgrade. The programme, for Foster Yeoman's development team based at its Frome headquarters, required the upskilling Oracle knowledge in a number of areas including Application Server, Web Forms, Oracle Discoverer, new features of SQL, Enterprise Manager. Existing skills within the team were very high, and therefore 'traditional' Oracle training was inappropriate - either there was no course covering the topics required or the course was too basic. iTrain were able to offer Foster Yeoman a completely tailor-made solution, a mixture of standard courses and tailored on-site courses.
Martin Day, Foster Yeoman IT Manager says:
"iTrain's flexibility in provision of standard courses and tailored on-site courses gave my team the targeted training that they required in the minimum time and at a very reasonable cost. iTrain's trainers were all of a high standard and were also consultants who regularly implemented Oracle solutions. This meant that they were able to impart valuable real-world knowledge to the team."
Iain Richardson, iTrain Education, explained an essential element of solution:
"The success of the programme is as a result of the clear communications Foster Yeoman and iTrain have built. This open channel, together with our trainers' thorough analysis and appreciation of their complex training requirement, and iTrain's trademark flexible and rapid approach to building a realistic training solution, were vital to the programme's success.
The feedback we've received, and the results the client is experiencing, testify to the programme's success and we look forward to the ongoing alliance with Foster Yeoman."
