Registration for training
BLENDED-LEARNING


We invite you to jointly test new educational tools for Trainers, Project Managers and Quality Managers, prepared in the blended-learning formula. Participation in the testing is an opportunity to gain professional knowledge completely free of charge and expand your own horizons.
In addition to classes with a trainer-practitioner, you will get access to the e-learning platform, where an additional dose of knowledge awaits you!

Participation in training and access to e-learning is free - the only thing we expect is the opinion of each participant of the training by completing an evaluation questionnaire.

FOR WHOM WE DEDICATE THE TRAINING?


  1. Are you a representative of a Polish educational institution?
  2. Do you want to learn something new? Or maybe systematize or verify the knowledge and skills you already have?

If the answer to the above questions is "yes", then register your company for the training!

A necessary condition for the participation of an Institution in the project is to test all three training programs.

For example:
you can apply 3 different people, one for each of the trainings or 1 same person can participate in 3 trainings.

The maximum number of reported participation is: 4.
