Trainings FAQs

We provide a tailor-made offer for each requirement. For example, if you're a company wanting to train multiple people, we provide a special offer per person and might charge per day rather than per person for large numbers, which would be more beneficial for you. If you are an NGO with a big number of participants, we can also significantly reduce the price per person. If you want the training in a specific venue (like a hotel or event space), we take that into consideration and would be responsible for all arrangements. Rest assured, our prices are among the most competitive in the market and we never like to lose a client. Register your interest and our team will be in contact within 24 hours.

Absolutely! We strongly recommend and provide pre and post-training assessments to ensure the tangible impact and effectiveness of our programs. For instance, we can deploy a mystery shopper experience both before and after a training initiative. This allows us to gather objective data on how the training has influenced real-world performance, customer interaction, and overall skill application within your team. This direct comparison provides invaluable insights into the return on your training investment and helps fine-tune future development strategies.

Our tailor-made trainings are designed to ensure direct applicability to your daily work. We achieve this by incorporating examples, interactive games, practical exercises, and relevant case studies that truly resonate with the trainees. This approach helps them bridge the gap between theory and real-world application. Our consultants don't just present information; they draw from their extensive experience, and crucially, from yours, to develop and apply customized solutions that truly work.

The duration of our 4D's programs is finely tuned to their specific objectives. For training designed to culminate in an international certification from a recognized entity, we adhere to the protocols and timeframes mandated by the certifying body. However, for our bespoke, tailor-made solutions aimed directly at enhancing performance and organizational capabilities, the duration is highly flexible, ranging from intensive one-day workshops to comprehensive two-week programs, all designed to deliver optimal impact and tangible results.
