Does anybody have any information on IT related training courses in Switzerland, taught in English?

My company gives me a budget each year to take courses, but i've no idea where to even look here. I'm talking things like one/two week courses, or maybe evening courses (i'd prefer to do it during work hours!).

Thanks, Dan.

IBM - also found www.youlearnit.ch on a search. Plus Digisomethingorother do English courses too....let me find some old course materials

edit: Digicomp Academy AG

Budget for IT training, what would that be then?? Never heard of that where I work You lucky thing!

Well you've got budget, and usually having a course in English means travelling to say, London to do it. Flight, hotel, etc. Get my drift?

Lou - RTFM. As long as it's free

I was hoping to find a loophole and get a course in snorkelling in Barbados

Always do! In fairness work does buy me the training books I need so I can teach myself new stuff.

If I remember right UBS gives employees after five years, an extra weeks wages, or a paid week-long training course doing whatever they like.

Eek. Have you seen their webpage? It's completely ground Firefox to a halt.

I won't be doing any of their web-courses

I actually found it as one of the results using the rather remarkable www.search.ch and putting in "it training" into the little box I found I could type in followed by clicking on the little grey button

Yeah but that doesn't give me any personal feedback from people who've done any of these themselves

you never asked that

The English speaking guys I konw in the business go to South Africa for courses, It's generally cheaper than here and the same level of qualification.

I did a java course via jodibo in Glattbrugg (nr the airport)....only thing...it was on Saturdays. Contact them anyway as they are great guys so could point u in the right direction possibly?!?

I can go along with that. I once compared the cost of doing Sun's Java course in Zürich with the cost of doing it in Bangkok (incl flight and hotel and 2 weeks vacation at a beach resort) and I think it was still slightly cheaper.

BTW I wonder if you can do them in Indonesia...Java courses in Java.

Cheers,
