1. Training at Banxia's offices

Booking form for Banxia training

For training events run by Banxia® Software Ltd you can download a booking form by clicking here. Where events are being run by other course providers and they have provided a booking form (in PDF format), a link is provided with the event details.

Pay less for your software!

If you attend one of our training workshops you will receive a special order form, entitling you to a 10% discount on the purchase price of Banxia® software products (hardware not included, sorry). This offer is valid for purchases made within 30 days from the date of the workshop

Banxia officesThe easiest and cheapest way to get training on our products is to visit our offices for a "you choose" session. We have set aside the first Monday of each month (with some movement due to public holidays and other events) as a public training day for "you choose" sessions. The product is not set until someone books that day, at which point others interested in that product are of course welcome to attend too. The price for these sessions is kept as low as possible, offering a 20% discount on our standard pricing (as shown on our booking form). Kendal has good communications to the rest of the UK (direct trains from London, Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester (and airport), Glasgow, Edinburgh and more) and plenty of accommodation, you can get good training, in beautiful surroundings, with little fuss. Where laptops are needed, these are "bring your own laptop" sessions. Email us now to info@banxia.com with your requirements.

2. Training at your location

Your locationIf you have a few people who would like training, then consider on-site training. For groups from the same company, this is usually a more cost effective option - you get to pick the day (subject to availability) and we come to your site. You need to provide the facilities - room, projector, laptops for participants etc. and pay the tutor's fee, travel, subsistence and accommodation expenses. For a price quote, email your requirements to info@banxia.com now.

3. Training from third-party trainers

Consultants/ trainers running a course?

If you are running a course which includes a Banxia® product please let us know and, if appropriate, we can add it to our events listing.

TrainerA number of independent trainers in the UK and around the world offer one-to-one and/ or group training workshops in our products. Contact us with your requirements, and we will put you in touch with the appropriate people. Where we are notified of them, public access workshops are listed in our events listing below.

Banxia Software do not and cannot warrant the services provided by any third party consultants/ trainers. It is the sole responsibility of the Purchaser to make the appropriate enquiries and satisfy themselves as to the suitability of the consultant/ trainer who they may subsequently choose to assist them in the use of our software.

4. Over the internet

GlobalWith this option, no one does any traveling, but we link computer screens to show you how to operate the software or system, while talking on the telephone. This option is used for short meetings (up to 2 hours) and not for a whole day. You should have a reliable internet connection, be familiar with computers, and have permission to load software on your computer. For a price quote, email your requirements to info@banxia.com now.

Training materials

BackpackThe materials provided in the trainers download area are intended for bona fide company and academic trainers.

If there is no course at a time that suits you, please ask about private tuition. We can provide a course at your location, Kendal, UK (good train links from all major cities) or Washington DC, US. Pricing depends on a number of factors, but for small groups on-site tuition can prove to be more economic than traveling to a public access event.
