Course of the training
- Get out of your own office and everyday working life – this allows you to concentrate fully on the training content. That's why we would like to invite you to join us.
- We start at 09:30 with a tea or espresso and a small snack.
- At 12:00 we eat together in our canteen, then we continue.
- The training days are exhausting, so we don't do 8 hours of frontal teaching. We finish at 4 pm.
- There are always two trainers at your side: this means that nobody is left behind, every exercise can be carried out and questions in between do not hold you up.
- After the training: We are also available to you as a point of contact after the training.
