We offer our training in various formats, depending on what is most convenient for you:

Online training

offers flexibility, simplifies scheduling, and allows participants to join comfortably from home.

On-site training

on the other hand, promotes direct interaction, enables more personalized support, and provides an ideal environment to focus fully on the training, free from the distractions of everyday life.

8 hours (2 sessions of 4 hours each)

The training can be customized to fit your schedule: either as an intensive one-day course, saving you time and simplifying your workflow planning, or as two separate 4-hour sessions on different days in an online format. This structure promotes better retention of the material and facilitates learning.

Each session includes short breaks to give participants a chance to recharge. Our training is designed to ensure that participants easily understand the content and can deepen their knowledge through hands-on exercises.

Theory & Practice, Live Demonstrations

The training is highly practice-oriented, focusing on real-life applications. Participants will work on hands-on exercises and can bring their own examples to address specific challenges.

After the training, participants will receive a detailed presentation containing all the key content and materials. This presentation serves as a valuable guide to help refresh your knowledge. We place great emphasis on the quality of our presentations, ensuring they are well-structured, clear, and helpful.

Additionally, we provide a summary of the explanations, notes, and questions discussed during the training.

All participants will also receive a certificate confirming the successful completion of the training and documenting their newly acquired skills.
