In-House Training
Customised Agile Training for Your Team
This Agile Foundation Course is available for in-house bookings.
“In-house” is a training style where we deliver training solely to participants from your organisation. It can also be referred to as “in-company” or “on-site” training.
What are the Benefits?
-
Flexibility
When organising an in-house workshop, you choose the training dates and delivery style.
We will deliver the course to your team on dates that work best for your schedule.
We can offer live virtual training, which is ideal for teams working remotely. If social distancing allows, we can come to your premises to deliver training in person.
-
Customisation
We will tailor the content and focus of this Agile Foundation Course to reflect the kinds of projects you encounter within your business.
Increasing the relevancy of the course material supports participants in absorbing and retaining this new Agile knowledge.
-
Efficiency
An in-house training approach is one of the most efficient ways to begin introducing Agile to your business or to your project teams.
By training everyone at the same time, you’ll ensure that each team member has the same knowledge and skill-set.
You’ll be able to get started much sooner than if you send people on training courses in smaller groups.
-
Cost-Effectiveness
Our in-house pricing model is per day rather than per person, making it a very cost-effective option when you have several candidates for Agile training.
