I have possibly the best problem in the world. I have about £1600 left in a training budget and I need to find something to spend it on. I can spend it on anything that could be considered training. Books, courses, conferences, etc.

I would like to find a course that would benifit a software developer but is not about learning a specific programming technology.

I don't really want to spend it on a technical training course. These topics are usually best learned with a good book and some trial and error. I have also already been on a general business/management training course and a PRINCE2 project management course.

I am currently working on a project on my own so am responsible for communicating with the client, requirements gathering, project management, etc., as well as the coding.

What training have you found useful outside the usual technical stuff? Has anyone done any business analysis courses? What were they like?

Are there any courses on some of the practicalities of working with software, e.g. automated test and deployment strategies, handling technical support?

I would prefer a course in the UK but I can travel if necessary.
