Context:
“ASP Training Institute” is a small company that specializes in IT related training. The company offers workshops for both individuals and organizations. Workshops can be offered in the company’s facilities and are open to both individuals and group registrations. “ASP Training Institute” also offers workshops for various organizations in their facilities. These sessions are to be attended by the organization’s employees only. The company has several full and part time staff with different areas of IT expertise.
As the business has grown, the ASP Training Institute company needs a computer system to handle information about workshops and registrations.
