We only provide the course material digitally because experience shows that most participants prefer this. Moreover, we can update the material shortly before the course which is better for the environment. If you want a printed copy, you can easily print it yourself.

Unfortunately this is not possible. Due to the up to date content of our courses, we receive presentations and digital syllabi from our teachers shortly before the start of a course.

Our courses are postgraduate and intended for participants with a master's or bachelor's degree. Sometimes specific prior knowledge is required. This will be stated in the course information. Do you have doubts or do you have questions about this? Then call or email one of our programme managers.

If you want to train several people within your team at the same time, it may be more beneficial to opt for an in-company training within your own organization. The final price of an in-company training depends on the duration of the course, specific content, the number of participants, the number of teachers and the required study material.

Contact one of our programme managers or complete the in-company form.

After your request you will be contacted by one of our programme managers. He or she will discuss your training needs with you and look for the right teachers. Together you will put together a suitable program.

PAOTM provides in-company training for all types of organizations in all its technical and leadership fields. An in-company is suitable if you want to take the same course with multiple participants, enrich your knowledge with your team or zoom in on your own practice. This is possible for any course or course combination from our offer.

An in-company offers various advantages: content tailored to the knowledge needs of your team, you can get started right away with your own cases, everyone is trained at the same time and you choose your desired location and time.  

We do not have a fixed number for this. Usually, it is interesting to choose an in-company course from 7 or 8 people, depending on the amount of customization that is desired. Please contact us for the possibilities.    

PAOTM offers a digital study guide with a compact overview of all our courses and trainings. You can request the study guide here here.
