First Alternative was founded by Mick Hosegood in 1989. We are a small (in size) training company, specialising in Solaris, Linux and related courses. As an independent and niche-focused company we are the first choice for better value training with a better pricing structure. But we don't just offer great value for money, we offer great value for less money. At First Alternative, we can provide you with a saving of up to 35% on all courses [comparison with Sun's Education service]. This same philosophy extends to on-site tailored courses, which are provided fully resourced at your own chosen location.
