• Do you teach this course on site (i.e. for companies)?
Yes. If you want our instructors to come to your company, contact us at enterprise@ikompass.com .
Do take note of the matters to prepare for on-site training:

- Movable chairs, one for each participant and trainer
- We need to be able to use classroom walls to hang posters and other work material.
The following equipment needs to be available:
-Whiteboard
-2 movable flip-charts
-LCD-projector
-Wall clock
-Tables for training material
As the course requires the full attention of the trainer during the day, it would be beneficial to have a person to turn to in case assistance is needed regarding classroom arrangements, the breaks, telephone messages to the participants etc.
Experience has proved that approximately 2-3 hours (total) on the day prior to the course and during the course is required for these kinds of matters.
Please supply us with the name of this person. It is an advantage if refreshments and fruits could be served during the day, in the big training room or just outside that room.
