Attendees comments

"I can recommend the training because of its real added value. You often have training courses where you are told what to do for three hours and end up just doing the time. Here we worked individually, the group was brought together well and I believe that the group will remain true to itself after the training . The content was tailored to the individual group members and their work and you could also hear how other companies find solutions. Thank you very much!"
