    CUK Training Camp

    Do the panel believe that there would be any benefit in a CUK Training Camp/Seminar?

    Well what does that mean?

    Well, hiring a venue for a few days every now and then, and then having certain expert members (or trainers) take other CUK'ers through overviews/training etc.

    Now, it aint going to free! and for those doing the training they should expect a day rate. But if organized properly, then in theory is should work out cost effectively.

    So for example, my background is BI/Data Warehousing. My skills are Business Objects, Cognos, Crystal, OBI EE, SQL Server SSIS, SSRS, VB, SQL, Excel VBA. For example I have given paid training courses on SQL, Excel and VB. So mine are technical.

    Or for example an overview for BA's or UML - etc etc.

    Just a thought. It would take some effort & planning to organize and it would depend on whether the site has members with the skills/time?

        It would take some time to organise:

        Event Management needs:
        Logistics - room booking, equipment booking, which is dependant on...
        Administration - launch event, take bookings, administer costs and charges.
        Content - plan the day, arrange speakers, etc...


        Apart from that, not much to do...

          And, of course, the main thing is that it must not make a loss.. I don't care if it can be offset against tax...

            Doddle. So just remains to see if there are any interested parties on here!

            BTW. I have posted it in General, which may be a mistake, I'm better to put in Light Relief!

                  Have a look at the Event Management portal, that'll give you a few ideas...

                  You might want to think about sponsorship <looks up >, and get doers involved.

                  DA might even like to join in the fun..
