This training is held in German.
In this training, you will learn how to design, negotiate, conclude and then manage service contracts economically. Which key figures are important?

Attendees comments

"I really liked the practical examples and very good communication of relevant content. All the training content is important for my day-to-day work."

Lukas Schumacher
Participants live online training, DLR

"Very practical examples that made this otherwise dry topic entertaining. What I took away was that we need to scrutinize the use of subcontractors more closely and draft contract components with the respective partner."

Tobias Pecnik

"Very good training, great lecturer, interesting team members."
