Customised training

The Estonian Training & Conference Centre – ensuring you’re valued on the labour market!

We can help you plan a long-term system of in-house training to guarantee consistent, multifaceted and sustainable development. Training is much more than just a way of passing on knowledge: it’s an opportunity to team-build, to inspire your staff and to provide them with experiences they’ll enjoy and remember.

In the case of in-house training we’re guided by your needs as an organisation and choose the trainer we think will best suit you. We start by mapping your needs and goals, as well as the problems you face.

The programme we put together is tailor-made for your company but can always be added to as needs change and developments arise.

In-house training also gives you the freedom to choose when and where the training takes place – you can choose the venue yourself, or we can suggest one that will work for you.

Note: All of the topics listed below can also be ordered as personal consultations.
