The program provides a theoretically sound foundation, then turns it into practical action using participants' specific, real-world situations. As a result, you can apply what you've learned the very next day. At the end of the course, you'll have a complete personal action plan to take forward.
Before the course begins, you'll carry out a mini 360-degree survey, asking your colleagues what they feel are your strong and weak points as a communicator. During the course, we'll use this feedback as the personal basis from which you'll start learning.
Participants will receive a High Tech Institute course certificate for attending this training. In addition, this training is part of the Professional Education program of the Dutch Society for Precision Engineering (DSPE), which issues microcredentials for it.
