The training is open to corporate cooperation (package for legal entities), and individual applications are not accepted. The training content can be restructured according to the corporate participant profile and needs. After mutual discussions, the scope and method (In-person, Online) of the training will be determined, and related processes will be completed. Once an agreement is reached, suitable dates and the location for the training with the instructors will be determined with your institution’s participants.
