Java Programming

Java is widely considered to be the most popular platform for web development. Most versions are now free software.

Experienced programmers in other languages coming to Java need to focus on procedural and structured coding skills first, followed by in-depth coverage of object-oriented concepts and how to apply them to Java software design and development.

Our Java Programming course for programmers who have not used Java is the ideal solution.

Flying your Business - A Simulator for SMEs

Pilots continuously refresh their skills in a flight simulator – businesses have to do the same. Nobody knows their own business better than the owner-manager. They should be able to easily produce projections and plans for managers, bankers and investors. A fear of financial jargon often prevents entrepreneurs getting to grips with the important details of how their decisions effect their business. A business simulation, created on easy-to-use software is the answer.

Professional.ie have a new practical, hands-on workshop - internationally approved by the Institute of Leadership and Management - to give SMEs a clear plan to sustain and develop their businesses. In partnership with the Cork City Enterprise Board, this one-day course is now available at just €80 for qualifying businesses in Cork City - normal price: €395.

Participants will be able to judge the impact on profit and cash flow of the decisions they have to make to secure business stability. They will have the basis to quickly and easily produce professional quality financial projections for internal use and bank presentations. As part of the course, owner-managers will learn how to communicate strategies more effectively to colleagues, advisers, lenders and investors.

Working Smart with MS Outlook

The average executive loses six weeks per year retrieving misplaced information from messy desks and - more commonly- mismanaged computer files. The cost in salary and lost productivity is enormous. Organisations can’t afford inefficiencies in boom times – in a recession, they can be fatal.

You need to take control of your email and our Working Smart with MS Outlook Programme is the solution. More and more we are being run by our email Inbox. To quote a phrase, 'We are drowning in a digital deluge'. For many workers it is now routine to have hundreds of unread emails in their inbox just waiting for when they 'get time'. This just won't happen!

The course is hands-on and provides immediate benefits:
• Consistent focus on priorities
• Improved communications
• Managed activities and events
• A ‘business planning’ approach to Outlook
• Control over the 'Digital Deluge'
