Call today about discounts on Group 1's CODE-1 Plus and MailStream Plus classes being offered in Irvine, California, April 27-30, In addition to those classes being offered in Irvine, Group 1 University is also offering public seminars at three locations: Chicago, IL; Dallas, TX ; and Lanham, MD.

We also offer onsite classes. Some companies find onsite classes given at their location a better investment. Onsite classes are $2000/day including travel expenses. These courses are convenient, customized using your in-house data, and can be more economical than the public seminars depending on the size of your group. eLearning classes are offered by Group 1 University as an additional method of training - so you don't have to leave your office.

Don't forget that Pre-Conference Intensives are offered every year at the Users' Conference. This year, the classes will be held July 19-20, in Atlanta, Georgia. The offerings are CODE-1 Plus, MailStream Plus and Merge/Purge Plus.
