The training is open for corporate cooperation (organization/company packages) and individual applications are not accepted. The training content can be reorganized according to your corporate participant profile and needs. After mutual discussions, the scope and method of the training (In-Person, Online) are determined and relevant procedures are completed. Upon agreement, the schedule, participants, instructors, and training location are finalized.
