Case Study Intranet and Web Design Training for

Met Office Scientists

he Met Office, have their own Intranet, known as “MetNet”, and they use it to
publish documents for their scientific staff to read, for better and quicker
Tcommunication.
We have been training Met Office staff since 1996, but they first came to Systematix with an
Internet training requirement in 1999.
Their scientists are professionals with high academic and professional achievements, and
several are experienced trainers in their own right, so this is one of the most challenging
requests we have ever had.
The selection of the appropriate dedicated Trainer for this highly demanding group was
crucial to the success of this applied training solution.
Systematix provided the Met Office with a specialist Science graduate who was also a
highly experienced Internet Trainer.

The first course we designed for them was a special one-day session. The training was
carried out at The Met Office College, for up to 8 delegates per session. It covered an
introduction to their preferred web browser Netscape Navigator and also a customised
introduction to HTML, so that they could browse their intranet and the Internet and create
their own documents.
Following the success of this initial Internet training in 1999 we have continued to create
and deliver customised web design courses, on Microsoft FrontPage and in the last few
years Adobe Dreamweaver, Flash and Fireworks, for Scientific Officers, Managers and
Directors from all over the United Kingdom.
Since the move to Exeter in 2003, Systematix have continued to be the preferred training
supplier for bespoke web development training.

Gains for their Business
The training has been highly successful – since 1999 almost 1000 Met Office staff have
attended, with more courses booked for 2007, this take-up rate speaks for itself.

These professional users have been able to go back to their stations throughout the UK
and use MetNet effectively, making it a highly valuable resource for communication
within the Met Office organisation.
