The enlarged team can offer a variety of training, delivered both face-to-face and online to create tailor-made, engaging and effective learning materials including the use of animation.

“We are now able to offer enhanced face-to-face and online learning in different ways, allowing employees to access a huge amount of content that is relevant to their role at the click of a button and at any time.
“The face-to-face learning components work alongside our online platform, allowing learners to book sessions online, receive certificates, and engage interactively during in-person sessions”.
