Can TEC-U staff build my training course?

Although we are not the experts in your training needs, we can work with you to identify if your training is educationally sound, is the best method of delivery, and reaches the level of learning needed by your students. We can also audit your existing courses to point out training gaps. Our training experts help you transform a "briefing" into a teachable lesson with student participation and evaluations.
