Advanced CSS training philosophyOur advanced CSS training follows one basic principle:
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime
Chinese proverb
Put simply, we don't want to implement advanced CSS on to your website - we want you to implement the CSS. The advanced CSS training lasts for one full day, during which time you'll complete a series of exercises designed for you to discover the answers by yourself and then put into practice what you've learnt.

By the end of the day, you'll have created a fully CSS-driven website and will have acquired a deep understanding of advanced CSS. As a result of our hands-on advanced CSS training, you'll have:

• A deeper understanding of your new knowledge
• Ownership of what you've learnt
• The ability to apply what you've learnt again and again in the future

he cost per participant is £395 + VAT, including refreshments, a delicious lunch and all-you-can-eat ice cream. Vegetarian lunch is also available.
Participants also receive a free handbook containing all the course tutorials.
