Hello, this is Frank from Tech Rentals Hello Frank fromtechrentals Hi, how're you? Fromtechrentals isn't my surname though Oh, I don't know, Frank Fromtechrentals sounds like it could be a proper name Well, I'm foreign, so I *could* get away with it How can I help you today? I was wondering what training programmes teach there Oh, we don't teach courses, we design and develop them Ah.. how so? We deliver training solutions to mostly Corporate clients. Ohh.. I see Yeh, we assess their need, develop a solution - sometimes it's computer based, sometimes it's classroom or workbook based or a combination of things - then the client runs the courses themselves. Ahh.. I get cha Then, after the client sees the fantastic results of our programs in their training, they come back to us and we make more for them. It's truly a beautiful thing. Thankyou, Michelle, you've been most helpful Have a good day, Frank Fromtechrentals
