Many users of both Rostar Flex and Rostar CAS have taken one or more courses so that they can make optimal use of the software.

At the end of a day’s training the participants are always asked to fill in an evaluation form so that the trainer can make any necessary adjustments for the following day’s training. Some responses from the evaluations:

• Ton Duvé, Full-time application manager of Rostar Flex for the ANP on the 3-day course for Application management:
  
  

  "These days were fantastic, but I’ve become ‘hungry’ for more. Through the logical structure, I have become familiar with the depth of Rostar, better than if I had practised at home for three days. Much of the functionality that was discussed in the course has proven to be extremely practical, even though it wasn’t immediately applicable at the time."
  
  

• Ronald Koster, ICT Manager at NedTrain Services Nederland about the Beginners course and the Application management course:
  
  

  "Both courses provide a solid foundation for the ICT Manager, even though he is not the application manager. This is because a complete picture is given of the possibilities of Rostar and how the programme has to be configured. These are essential criteria for a successful implementation. The courses were definitely useful."
  
  

• Eric Huizinga, Project manager at Strukton about the Beginners course, the course for Advanced Planners, and the Application management course:
  
  

  "The Beginners course has certainly proven its worth. It provides a complete insight into the suitability of the package and its possibilities. The beginners’ course offers sufficient knowledge to, for example, make a company-specific manual for planners, as is the case at Strukton."
  
  

• Ronald Linsen, Team manager and Project manager in the Slotervaart Hospital, Amsterdam on the Application management course and the course for Advanced Planners:
  
  

  "The implementation of Rostar was definitely more efficient due to the knowledge I gained. Especially the discussions on user-specific needs in planning principles can be done more efficiently now." Tips for fellow planners who want to take the courses: "If you are a Project manager, take the Beginners course, so that you get a complete picture of Rostar. Then talk with a Paralax Consultant to determine which training path is suitable for the various Rostar users."
