Certification for Teams & Companies
Kanban Level 1 Certification as an In-House Seminar
Choosing an in-house Kanban training, especially for groups of 8 or more people, offers significant advantages. The training can be tailored to your company's needs and promotes team alignment and practical application. In-house training provides a private environment for open discussions about the challenges your company faces.
In-house training is usually more cost-effective per employee than public courses and also saves external costs, such as travel and accommodation. Moreover, these in-house training sessions can be certified by various renowned organizations, adding value to your team's professional development.
In summary, in-house seminars offer customization, confidentiality (compliance), cost savings, and—if desired—recognized certification.
Kanban Certification with Volume Discount
Agile Academy offers volume discounts for public Kanban training, allowing our customers to achieve significant cost savings. If multiple team members register (at least 3), volume discounts are granted, making training more economical for larger teams.
Compared to an in-house seminar, these discounts come with flexibility. Team members can choose different training dates that fit their schedule, ensuring business continuity.
Essentially, volume discounts offer a cost-effective solution for high-quality Kanban training, combining substantial savings with convenient scheduling, making it an attractive option for companies looking to empower their teams.
Contact us with your special requirements and we are sure to offer you a custom, tailor-made solution for your training needs.
