- How the training service works
- Additional training is one of the optional packages within this Cloud Support Service options. Training is available as standard packages of time for groups of up to 80 users per package. Training can be directed towards a single provision type (new / existing users) or split between the two. The package can also be used to train different types of users. For example, portfolio managers, project managers and administrator users need a full day of training, and benefit from 1-1 instruction and smaller groups. Project teams and occasional users on the other hand, require less detailed instruction and can be taught in larger groups. Illustrations of how the package breaks down in practical terms, and details of maximum numbers for each user type, can be seen in our Cloud Support 'Service Definition' and 'Pricing' documents.
