This combined e-learning and virtual-tutored course gives you all the great content of our existing training courses but in a new more-digestible format.

You’ll benefit from smaller teaching groups and shorter sessions, allowing more time for reflection and one-to-one time with our experienced trainers.

With this modular option, you will benefit from a personalized one-on-one session with the Course Director before the course begins. During this meeting, you can discuss your specific needs, goals, and expectations.

The course structure allows you to pace your learning over shorter sessions, providing ample time for reflection and by participating in smaller learning groups, you’ll receive more individual attention and have increased opportunities to clarify doubts and reinforce your understanding.

Additionally, the course emphasizes interactive sessions, where you’ll collaborate closely with fellow delegates, actively practicing and refining your delivery skills.
