Types of Training
Public Venue Events
Public venue events offer many advantages to students, including workload balancing. Students can stagger attendance at different venues throughout the year and schedule around work projects and busy times. According to many of our prior students, one of the biggest benefits is the interaction with attendees from other carriers. Our instructors encourage student discussion and interaction, and students find it helpful to hear how others are dealing with some of the same issues they are facing themselves.
Onsite Events
An onsite event can be the most efficient training solution. The flat-rate price structure enables you to invite more people to the training. Beyond the Fraud Management team and finance executives,, organizations have found it beneficial to invite operational mangers, network, and revenue assurance teams to the training as well. Furthermore, an onsite event can be customized to relate more specifically to your team and company's needs. This allows teams to build a common language and understanding of the issues they face, and fosters team spirit to resolve issues.
