I'll get you an outline of the programme and I'll also see if I can create some other options for you. I'll provisionally book the suppliers in case you've got over your irritation by September - so we don't lose those dates.

It's too bad that the training provider can't be as responsive! In a trading organization, 2 to 3 months is an eternity. Sounds as if they are inflexible as well. Our audience for this training would be risk book adminstrators and traders, so 2 days away from the desk is not very workable either. After I get over my irritation at timing and inflexibility, I may want to book them for September, although with a much smaller audience than would be desireable if they insist on sticking to their 2 day method of delivery. Could I get an outline of their 2 day course to review in order to make this decision? Thanks. --Sally Tim O'Rourke@ENRON 06/19/2000 04:11 PM To: Sally Beck/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: VAR training Sally, Angela Sprock forwarded your VM to me regarding the VAR training that you were looking to set up for your group. I've taken the liberty of getting in touch with the suppliers to talk to them about the request and their availability. As well as discussing putting on the 2 day course solely for you group, I also discussed with them the possibility of breaking it up and delivering it in shorter modules. Although they considered this, they are insistent that the course structure, the activities and the content lend themselves better to the 2 day format. They are a very busy company, in much demand both within Enron and other companies. Their earliest available dates are: September 14-15, and September 21-22. Alternatively, they have more flexibility on dates later in the year (October onwards - but that may be less of a fit). How does this fit with your group? Let me know if you want to discuss this further Tim 36698
