CSK DealMaster Target Audience

 

On-line and interactive

Modules are between 90 and 180 minutes, depending on the topic.

The format combines the cost benefit of a typical web-based solution with the advantages of an on-site training. As opposed to other typical online training concepts, it provides interactive access to a real trainer delivered over the web. This means participants can resolve issues in real time and comprehension and retention is increased. To compensate with the potential disadvantage of the fact that you might not be able to attend the session, we record all sessions for you so that you still have access to the same content, too.

Note: In our broadcasting studio, we are using the most advanced tools and techniques to provide you with an outstanding, engaging webinar experience. This makes sure, you will be leveraging your preciouse time to acquire lots of best practices while enjoying each session.
