Get to grips with advanced techniques

Colin's next Advanced Internet Research course will be held in July 2009 - dates soon. This course covers advanced search engine techniques, investigative strategies, making the most of social networking and social bookmarking sites and much more. This course is delivered in partnership with journalism.co.uk.

"This course has really broadened my mind on ways to use the internet. It was fascinating and hugely helpful." - Alexandra Culliford. European Service Network. May, 2008.

"I found this course both enjoyable and educational – the presentation style was informal yet effective and it was most beneficial being in a small group. The tutor is clearly highly experienced and proficient in the subject and his enthusiasm for it came through." - Michelle Marshall, editor of European Cleaning Journal. February, 2009.

"Brilliant course, packed full with information, practical advice and tools." - Tara Evans. This is Money. 2008.
