POW! and PAC-M software is designed to be easy to use, and telephone support is free of charge. But, if you want a flying start or have a specialised application, there is no substitute for hands-on training. Each customer's needs are different, so every session is tailored to your particular firm, and the individuals within it. Courses can include a number of components:

• Theoretical background
• Model design, including
  • Full covariance and currency factor models
  • Stock factor models
  • Zero-sum portfolios and zero-weight assets
  • New applications, such as property and credit portfolios
• Setting up one or more applications in POW! Frontier and/or Toolbox Wizard
• Detailed advice on VB/C programming for Automation users
• Getting the best out of Excel customisation and marketing
• Getting results that non-quants will understand and accept

As this list implies, there is no hard and fast dividing line between consultancy and training, so take a look at our consultancy project page to get an idea of some of the other areas where we can help.

The choice of location is also yours. Choose between:

• your own premises
• our offices here in London
• any other mutually convenient location

Courses are for a minimum of half a day (a full day outside a 70-mile radius from our offices). Let us know your requirements.
