Training

Our objectives are to introduce Usability into an organisation, introduce the concept of usability and transfer our experience, knowledge and tools to Project Teams to eventually make them self sufficient.

Our training courses include:

• beginners in usability,
• people with a bit more experience,
• experts interested in a specialist topic,
• managers who want a broader introduction

Don't expect just to sit back and view slides. Our courses are highly interactive. You will work on practical exercises that build your skills and knowledge, and you'll take away concepts, ideas and techniques that you can apply straight away.

All courses are offered on your site, and can be lightly customized for your specific needs.
