The category of groups which we are especially proud of and very good at is the Training Tour Group. Through our experienced American staff, we have relationships with several US College, Universities and other learning institutions. We are also able to customize or create a completely new program for your customers. For example, a group of professionals from the Telecom industry in Vietnam requested an advanced training program on USA Telecom business practices and a tour of some USA Telecom companies. Our American staff went to work, putting together a training program by accredited University level instructors and made arrangements with two US Telecom companies for tours of their offices.
The main benefit for you is our ability to put together virtually any program you need for your customers. Because we are based in Southern California, we are able to accommodate almost any request your customers may have.
Below are just a few examples of some Training Programs we have offered in the past:
