Remote and On site Courses

We offer both remote and on site training courses depending on your needs.

What is remote training?

Remote training is an excellent way to get the same level of training with a reduced travel cost for you and your team. Join our remote online training facility to use our dedicated training CAMS. All you need to join our remote training courses is a computer with a stable internet connection. For more information please see our How does Remote Training work? section.

What is on site training?

On site training is available at our training suite in Talgarth. We can provide training for up to 6 staff at one time using our dedicated training machines. The only requirement is to show up on the day! Take advantage of training in the same physical space as your colleagues. You could even request multiple training courses if you wanted to take advantage of a single visit to maximise the content covered. We offer lunch and refreshments too!

Finally we can also offer dedicated training on demand, just contact us if you'd like to arrange training at your offices or another location of your choice.

How does CAMS remote training work?

  • Connect from any computer with internet access
  • No requirement to have CAMS installed
  • Join to our dedicated CAMS training system using a simple shortcut from your desktop

We will use either MS Teams to share training materials and demonstrate exercises. You will then have the chance to complete the exercises in our ‘training’ CAMS instance – separate to your live CAMS.

Courses will be split across multiple days with 2 - 3 hour sessions.

All trainees must complete a ‘connection test’ prior to attending a remote training course to confirm they can connect OK. Typically this test takes 10 - 15 minutes and is best completed at least 2 weeks prior to the training in case any issues need to be raised with your organisation's IT team.
