Yes, hat's pretty much my experience. My company (software.coop) is in the third sector but offers services to all. I don't really push training and we only really sell it as an add-on to other work. Our free tester sessions have had positive feedback, but some of them have had low turnouts, so there's not been one for some time and our course materials need updating.

We need to promote these skills more widely and easily than that allows.
