Training methodology and organisation
Trainers

Smile's trainers are project managers or experts on the products mentioned. They therefore have real operational experience of the tools. They also have real training experience. For quality reasons and to ensure interaction with the trainer, each session is restricted to 8 trainees.
Process
Training is carried out at our premises in Levallois-Perret. All training must include practical work. Each participant therefore has a workstation with access to a completely operational environment. We provide trainees with top of the range PCs fitted with software required for the course, course training aids and pens for taking notes.
Welcoming the trainees
In the morning, trainees are welcomed in our dining room with hot and cold drinks and pastries. At lunchtime, the company pays for the trainees to dine with the trainer in order to continue discussions in a friendly atmosphere.
