Tailor-made
As the name suggests, TaylorMade Training and Consulting (TMTC) is committed to tailor-made training solutions to meet your organisation’s needs. Not subscribing to the ‘one training package fits all’ approach, training can be delivered at the introductory through to advanced learning levels.
The training needs identification process includes:
