Training schedule

Get out of your office and daily work routine – this allows for full concentration on the training content. Therefore, we are happy to invite you to join us.

Start at 09:30 AM: We begin with a tea or espresso and a small snack.
Lunch at 12:00 PM: We eat together in our canteen, then continue the training.
End at 04:00 PM: Training days are intense, so we don't conduct 8 hours of lectures. We finish by 4 PM.

Typically, two trainers are available to assist you. This ensures no one gets left behind, and we can directly answer questions or help with your device.

After the Training: We remain available as a point of contact even after the training session.
