[Visit www.syntagm.co.uk/design/schedule.shtml<http://www.syntagm.co.uk/des=
ign/schedule.shtml>  for further details and online booking.]

All of our London and Brussels courses have a three-for-two discount availa=
ble.

We still have places remaining on our Web and Intranet Usability Course on =
13 September in central London. This course is ideal for development teams,=
 managers and those wanting to move into or already getting started in usab=
ility. For experienced usability practitioners, the course provides practic=
al activities that can be used with teams to help sell the case for usabili=
ty and user-centred design.

October sees the debut of our Brussels courses, hosted by our good friends =
at the human-centred design consultancy, Namahn. We are running a series of=
 three one-day workshops on Agile UCD, Ajax Design and Usability and Card S=
orting for Navigation Design (5,6 and 7 Oct). An early booking discount is =
available until 17 September. As with our London courses, you can book thre=
e places (in any permutation) and pay for only two.

Also in October is the first of our emotional intelligence courses for soft=
ware, web and intranet development teams (on the 11th). We've combined our =
two separate communication and negotiating skills courses into a single hig=
hly-practical day.  Learn how to increase your ability to communicate and n=
egotiate within diverse teams and have more effective working relationships=
.   This course is led by our principal people-skills consultant, Valerie F=
awcett, who has run training courses for scores of companies, including Vod=
afone, Elsevier, Oxford University Press, NHS Primary Care Trusts, Thomson =
Reuters, Schlumberger, Perkin Elmer and Nikon. The course is called Communi=
cating and Negotiating with Emotional Intelligence. There is an early booki=
ng discount until 10 September.

In November our Agile User Experience and UCD course is running in both Ham=
burg and London (5th and 15th, respectively). If you are developing solutio=
ns with Agile (XP or Scrum, for example) this course will help you to integ=
rate usability and UCD activities to best effect. The course was very popul=
ar and well-reviewed in London in May. It is being considered for next year=
's CHI conference in Vancouver.

We have other courses scheduled through the early part of 2011. As always, =
if you are a student or your organisation does charitable work, we do have =
a limited number of 'at cost' places available. Get in touch for further de=
tails.
