Get more out of BCD products and become efficient faster by attending BCD Training Courses and Seminars
Our training courses consist of brief lectures describing and illustrating the software functions, followed by hands-on labs working with the product. Each attendee will work individually or with one other person on a PC to do the labs which generate small but complete business applications. The courses are quite intensive as there is a lot of material to cover and upon completion of the class you will have a solid base for working with the software as well as knowing all the short cuts and potential of the product.

 Upcoming Courses
BCD provides training for all our products, though most training courses are for WebSmart and ProGen Plus.
Location
   BCD training courses can be scheduled anywhere in the world but most of the public courses take place in one of the most spectacular places on earth, Sidney British Columbia, home of the BCD technical office, located on Vancouver Island on the west coast of Canada. This beautiful Island welcomes you with a wealth of excursions, magnificent sceneries and year round golfing. It's the right place to learn more about BCD products and forget the stress of your work. Explore the City of Gardens (Victoria) or enjoy a whale watching trip. Visit Tofino and Long Beach or snap some National Geographic photos while sailing along the Gulf Islands.

On-Site Training Seminars
You can request on-site training, which allows us to put together a customized package for you, and focus particularly on the areas you need help with. If you have 3 or more programmers at your company who need training, on-site training is probably your best option.
All our training includes a series of hands-on labs designed to take you through all the important functions of the software. For WebSmart training, we recommend a minimum of 4 days, and if you have more than 5 or 6 people in the class, you should probably consider doing a 5 day class. We generally recommend at least 3 days for ProGen Plus training, and if you have more than 4 or 5 people, you should give serious consideration to having a customized 4 or 5 day format, similar to the structure of the training seminars we host. The longer format will allow us to spend more time on issues specific to your site.
In the past we have also arranged for two or more WebSmart or ProGen Plus clients in the same area to share training courses, so if you don't have enough staff members to make on-site training economically feasible, and you'd like to try and get together with another company, let us know and we'll try and set it up for you.
We can also arrange for training to include other products, such as DbGen, Catapult or Spool-Explorer and EZ-Pickin's.
Web-Based Training
For those of you unable to attend a 3 or 4 day course and need a more flexible schedule our web-based training option is for you. Using desktop sharing software and speaking to you over the phone, one of our experienced instructors mentor you on how to use your choice of BCD software products. We can also be looking at your screen to work with you on your own application. This will happen while you are in front of your computer in the comfort of your own office.
There are 2 web-based training options: structured classroom-style training or collaborative consulting. You can select the style of training that works best for you, or combine the two. In both cases the training is held in a web-conference environment.
