Testimonials
“Many tips were provided and the fact that we were allowed to make our own exercises made us think more. It made us realise that we communicate a lot every day, but not always in the right way (too negative, unclear, not clear, not to the point,...). The trainer was very pleasant and ensured good interaction. There was a relaxed atmosphere and questions were answered immediately. A real tailor-made training :-)”
Vanessa De ProotCity of Dendermonde
“I wanted to learn to write emails in an even more customer-friendly way. In addition, it was important to get the necessary tools to write texts for the web and for newsletters in a creative way. This expectation was completely fulfilled thanks to the useful tips and the practical exercises. I still take the syllabus with me when I write texts.”
