Methodologie

You follow a ‘Classroom training’ in a group. You, the other participants and the teacher are all present in the same classroom at an agreed time. There is an opportunity for interaction and feedback, both from the participants to the teacher and vice versa. The teaching material consists as a basis of a presentation via the MyFA learning platform, supplemented with various other items (such as digital syllabus, presentation, audiovisual fragments, etc.).

Type of course: Classroom

During our interactive training courses, we aim to be as close as possible to everyday work practices. In this connection, practical tips, handy diagrams and recognisable cases are key elements. At the same time, our trainers do not overload you with legal clauses, etc. and instead speak the language you use every day at work.

Training material:

• PowerPoint presentation
