This class runs as a private cohort on dates that suit your team, at your site or delivered live online. Tell us roughly when and how many people, and we'll come back with dates and a total.

We can also add you to the notify list for the next public date, though private delivery is usually faster and works out better per seat once you're past four or five people.
