Webcast seminars

Great for your team's ongoing professional learning



We invite you to consider an alternative way of offering professional learning to your team. Here at APECC, we are pleased to be able to come to you via a 60/90/120 minute or half day seminar delivered through our online management system or ZOOM - whichever you prefer. All you need is a laptop that can be linked to a large(ish) screen and we can present live to you - simple as that!

 

Just choose your topic and discuss a time to suit you with Deborah and you are all set to learn and participate! Payment is via invoicing only.

 

We are also able to tailor sessions that suit your needs. We can do one off sessions, but much prefer to develop an ongoing relationship with your team. Please contact Deborah to discuss your requirements and to make a time for your session or sessions.
