Trainings can be developed as offerings for members in a Consortium or System with an option for customized follow-up with individual members according to needs.
- Customized engagements can be developed according to the objectives of the Consortium/System.
- Pricing for Consortiums & Public Entities/Systems varies according to the number of institutional members.
