There's a new website to book last-minute places in training courses. Startnextweek.com.au lists thousands of training courses around Australia. Businesses and individuals can compare, book and buy training online. Availability is restricted to 28 days from the course commencement date to attract discounts from the training providers. Co-founder Richard Brooks expects most users will be HR managers. "As a former training manager, I would spend countless hours trying to fill empty seats and I knew there could be an easier way," he says.
There is a range of courses, from career-related to self improvement and hobbies.
