We have a team of 10 trainers each with different areas of expertise, and in most times they do complement each other by backing up each other in instances where the class size is large and facilitators are required to assist the lead trainer, or when the master trainer is not available to conduct the class due to unseen circumstances.

All courses / workshops / seminars are customisable whenever clients require us to do so. Thus, doing business with us is relatively risk-free as all our trainers are carefully selected and stringently screened through interviews and they come with reference checks. No client is too small for us as we work within their budget.
Besides offering “serious” corporate programmes in Organisational Development and personal development, and in order to help your employees destress and at the same time pick up additional skills, we have introduced a series of leisure courses consisting of Floral Arrangements, Gift Wrapping & Ribbon Making, Jewelry Making, and other arts & crafts courses. Such leisure courses can be conducted during clients’ staff incentive programmes such as departmental retreats, family day or lunch time talks.
