Management Training Courses
The Full Training program is ideal for for supervisors and team-leaders and runs over 6 months period. Alternatively each Module can be booked individually.
During Covid we developed online training, which worked much better than we initially thought. We do all our training online and have found it to be extremely effective. We use both Zoom and Teams platforms and can migrate to any inhouse platform used by your company.
