To adapt with the Covid-19 pandemic we’ve quickly adapted to online training so our clients can continue learning and growing. Staff and clients have embraced this and enjoy new ways of working. We advertise all opportunities on social media and take clients through the process step-by-step. We are excited to be able to offer this new delivery of learning and are evaluating the process as we go. We hope our clients are as excited by this new development as we are.
