The requests we receive most often:
We assess participants' actual level before finalising the programme. Content that is too advanced helps nobody; content that is too basic helps nobody either.
Assessment · 2 to 3 days
Positioning questionnaire and a discussion with the manager: actual level, objectives, scheduling constraints.
Tailored programme · 1 week
Content, duration and practical cases built on your environment, submitted for your approval before we start.
Delivery · programme-dependent
Sessions led by a practising engineer, with exercises on real hardware or a lab setup, in small groups.
Assessment and follow-up · after the session
Verification of learning, certificate, and a period during which participants can come back to the trainer.
Combine several modules into a learning path, or have the content adapted to your environment: needs assessment, content adaptation, schedule.
