Software
Relevant software is supplied with most workshop. The software consists of demonstration programs which illustrate the basic theory as well as the more difficult concepts of the workshop.
On-Site Workshops
In addition to the quality of workshops which IDC presents on a world-wide basis, all IDC courses are also available for on-site (in-house) presentation at our clients premises. On-site training is a cost effective method of training for companies with many delegates to train in a particular area. Organizations can save valuable training $$$s by holding courses on-site, where costs are significantly less. Other benefits are IDCs ability to focus on particular systems and equipment so that attendees obtain only the greatest benefits from the training. All on-site workshops are tailored to meet with clients training requirements and courses can be presented at beginners, intermediate or advanced levels based on the knowledge and experience of delegates in attendance. Specific areas of interest to the client can also be covered in more detail. Our external workshops are planned well in advance and you should contact us as early as possible if you require on-site/customized training. While we will always endeavor to meet your timetable preferences, two to three months notice is preferable in order to successfully fulfil your requirements. Please dont hesitate to contact us if you would like to discuss your training needs.

Customized Training
In addition to standard on-site training, IDC specializes in customized courses to meet client training specifications. IDC has the necessary engineering and training expertise and resources to work closely with clients in preparing and presenting specialized courses. These courses may comprise a combination of all IDC courses along with additional topics and subjects that are required. The benefits to companies in using training is reflected in the increased efficiency of their operations and equipment.
Training Contracts
IDC also specializes in establishing training contracts with companies who require ongoing training for their employees. These contracts can be established over a given period of time and special fees are negotiated with clients based on their requirements. Where possible IDC will also adapt courses to satisfy your training budget.
