Training Methods
Your specialist course leader relies on a highly interactive training method to
enhance the learning process. This method ensures that all participants gain a
complete understanding of all topics covered. The training environment is highly
stimulating, challenging, and effective because the participants will learn by
case studies which will allow them to apply the material taught to their own
organization.
Each delegate will receive a copy of the following materials written by the
instructor:
