Yeah, we've discussed this, and I thought someone had done some work on it
(and emailed certfirst about it)... maybe stefan?

There has been some talk that we should change the training section to require
people to register thier companies before posting training (like we do with
products) but I don't think anyone has activly worked on it.

Well, you can always add that information into the description. We can
certainly make an optional field for that, not sure how others feel about
making it mandatory (some pricing structures might display badley... ie.
someone charges more but includes airfare/hotel with the cost).
