    Sounds quite cheap as it's 2 full days.

    Try paying for a professional IT qualification training course and you'll soon realise that £250 is very cheap. Last one I did lasted 5 days and cost over £4000 and we only used VM software on a cheap computer. Good job the firm paid for it :lol:

    Or you're not charging enough for your training, my company hires out my time for £550 a day and thats for one on one purposes and not including materials.

    The thing is, the prize will always apear more attractive than it actually is, they will give away a bike for example; one which they previously reviewed and displayed the "at the time of review this bike was £3000" and then later went on to offer as a prize worth £3500.... this is hypothetical, I have not observed this exact set of circumstances however it demonstrates the point i am trying to make.

    The more people who enter the competition the more benefit it is to them.
