As another exciting year of Equinox Training comes to a close we would like to thank you for supporting our training activities this year.

The best part of running a training business attached to Equinox is the access to our experienced Principal Consultants, who spend the majority of their time in project and client work, but who also make time to run our pragmatic and real-world training courses. I know this practitioner-led training approach makes a difference on important projects, not just on peoples' CVs.

2009 has been a positive year with many new training services:

• Earlier in the year we began working with Australian-based Certified Scrum Training Rowan Bunning who has now delivered multiple Scrum and Agile training courses for Equinox in New Zealand.
• We were also delighted to announce our partnership with Randy Rice and Rice Consulting to license and deliver their practical software testing courses in New Zealand.
• In addition, Equinox has continued to develop and evolve our training offerings, including a number of new business analysis and software project courses as well as the certification of more of our Principal Consultants to deliver our practitioner-led training.
• Finally it was fantastic to have Silverio Governo join the Equinox Training team in April and pick up the business development and relationship responsibilities.

Have a magical and safe Christmas and New Year. We look forward to seeing you in 2010 on our full schedule of training, to help you prepare for your 2010 projects.

Brendon Livingstone (Equinox Training Services Manager) and Silverio Governo (Business Development Manager - Training)

P.S. As always our thanks to Katrina Jensen and our Principal Consultant / Instructors who do the real work of smoothly delivering our training courses.
