Teaching methods
Our training focuses on practical exrecise and participative demonstrations, using the software to learn by doing. NOte that the AUTOFLUID Suite is provided for the training.
Benefits of the training
In the case of one-to-one or small groups of the same company, the trainers adapt the programs to the specific needs of the trainees.
Course documentation is provided along training sessions to help trainees follow and understand.
Conditions of evaluation
Trainees receive validation on their training by achieving a minimum score of 16/20 on our evaluation grid. It is composed of a set of criteria that show how trainees meet the objectives of the course in exercises that simulate real life situations.
Feedback from the trainees on the sessions is recorded via a questionnaire at the end of each training program.
Access to trainees with a handicap
Please inform us of specific needs at the time of preparing the sessions.
