Advantages of studying here

The Unbelieveably Flexible First Alternative...We call ourselves a "customer responsive organisation" which quite simply means our aim is to deliver whatever training you need, however you want it. The Cost Effective First Alternative...As an independent and niche-focused company we are the first choice for better value training with a better pricing structure. But we don't just offer great value for money, we offer great value for less money.The Uniquely Supportive First Alternative...Our training support does not finish when the course does. We offer real support as you implement what you have learned. We have an informal post-course help line to answer delegates' questions. The Crucially Independent First Alternative...Unlike some training providers, at First Alternative you'll find nobody is pulling our strings. We are customer-driven, not vendor-compliant, so we can give you an unbiased, objective appraisal of product.

Areas of specialisation
