How is the Course Delivered?
WeTrain’s Influence and Persuasion course is generally presented as an engaging, interactive and fun one-day program; however, we can tailor the content to present a shorter session for conferences and events.
We aim to deliver training that is completely relevant to your business and your team. That’s why we undertake an initial consultation, where we assess the skill level of your attendees, address your desired outcomes and find out valuable information about your company and its current set-up.
Remember, it’s your course, so you get to decide where it takes place. We are happy to deliver WeTrain’s Influence and Persuasion program either from your workplace or virtually online.
Convenient Training At Your Premises or Virtually Online
WeTrain offers the flexibility to conduct training sessions conveniently at your premises or virtually online, ensuring a seamless and accessible learning experience tailored to your needs.
What Are Ideal Course Numbers?
Our courses are typically ‘hands-on’, so we suggest keeping numbers to a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 12 people. This allows our trainer to interact with your entire group yet still have enough time to allow for one-to-one interactions.
If your group exceeds 12, we will happily structure your training program to meet the needs of a larger audience. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
