YES. Our facilitators are happy to work with you to ensure learning outcomes are optimized.
NO. We can deliver individual modules, however buying the entire suite of modules comes with significant cost savings per module.
NO. Our pricing reflects the number of participants enrolled.
In a post-COVID world, our preference is for online webinar delivery. We have also found that this is more effective. However, we can deliver face-to-face sessions if necessary, and have done so at legal offices from London to New York, and Sydney to Shanghai.
If your software is fit-for-the-purpose of what we teach, then we can tailor our training accordingly. For example, if you are using Salesforce as your CRM, then we can tailor our language and content when referencing CRMs accordingly.
