There are no standard training sessions at TK-PRO, no powerpoints and no lectures. Nearly all the time we work in small groups, the results of which are then presented to the whole team:

(2) Practising with your projects
Immediately following the learning workshop on a certain topic, the newly acquired expertise is practised with actual, real projects of your company. All tasks for the trainees are tricky enough to challenge the experienced and at the same time motivate the beginner.
