Up to 10 people can be included in online training courses.

It can be teamed with other topics (ie communication, customer service, sales or business writing) so training is extended over a longer period.  For some of these longer programmes, there will be group discussions, exercises & feedback based on individual/group needs.  Each participant receives a workshop manual.
