We don t offer pre-recorded online programs or self-paced programs where you receive the materials and work it out for yourself. That s not an effective way to learn and it s not how we work. Workplace Dimensions are experts in live training. Our program simulates real face-to-face training, with expert facilitators, peers and all the activities, discovery learning and discussions you d experience if you were working in a training room together.
