Additional information
Maximize Your Learning, Minimize Your Cost: Group Enrollment. The standard individual enrolment fee for this comprehensive course is £450.00. However, we're pleased to offer a unique group enrolment option that significantly reduces the per-person cost. For a single, pre-payment of £450.00, you and your colleagues can participate in this valuable training. This means that if you assemble a group of participants, the cost per person dramatically decreases. For example, if ten individuals join the course, each person would only pay £45.00 (£450.00 total / 10 participants = £45.00 per person). This presents a fantastic opportunity for teams, departments, or groups of professionals to access high-quality training at a fraction of the individual cost. Please note that the full £450.00 payment must be received prior to the commencement of the training sessions. Flexible and Convenient Course Delivery: The course is delivered across two focused sessions, each lasting 2.5 hours. We prioritize flexibility and aim to accommodate the needs of your group. Depending on your team's availability and Kevin O'Doherty's schedule, these sessions can be conducted on the same day or spread across 2 separate days. This adaptable approach ensures minimal disruption to your workflow while maximizing learning outcomes. Once attendees have completed the course, they can request an accredited certificate. This certificate is intended to evidence ongoing professional development and the successful completion of the course.
