New e-business training centre launched in the north by Access

A new e-business training centre has been launched in the north of England by Access Accounting Ltd. Based in Otley, North Yorkshire; it will be open for training in the first week of February 2001.

Gallanach Computer Services, with over ten years experience providing Access training, have landed the contract for dealer accreditation training in the North.

This new centre offers expert e-commerce financials training with state of the art facilities to Access specialist centres in the northern region at a location closer to their area of operation.

Gallanach will be faithfully replicating the innovative training syllabus and scheduled courses offered at Access HQ in Colchester where nearly 2,000 people a year from all over the world attend training.

Kevin Misselbrook, Corporate Projects Manager with Access said, Our training courses are the envy of the industry, and we make sure that accreditation is stringent for anyone selling our software. Knowledge is everything in our industry, and that is why we ensure that we judge our dealers not by how much they sell but by how much they know."

Gallanach Managing Partner Lis Moore said, We offer a complete service dedicated to the Access product range and plan to double the number of accredited dealers in the north within 12 months."

Gallanach Computer Services can be contacted on 01943 851087.
