From end of July 2011, the Virtual Training Suite has been taken over by TutorPro, who will host the new site and tutorials and work with the content providers to keep the content up to date whilst moving the whole project forward into the world of smartphones, tablets and mobile devices. Access these via their KnowledgeBank section or via the link at the start of this section.
