Tailor-made Courses

Companies can opt to mix parts of the syllabuses of different courses so as to reach the training targets for their employees. This can either be obtained by TCTC providing the syllabus of specific courses and the company choosing parts of different syllabuses or else the company can explain to TCTC representatives what reports they would like their employees to be trained on, provide a sample of these reports before the training and TCTC organizes the training around these reports.

Onsite / Offsite Training

Any training organized for companies can be organized in TCTC various training centers around Malta and Gozo or even at the company’s own premises. To be able to set any training in the companies’ own premises, the company has to have a computer lab already set up and it is of utmost importance that the class is not interrupted during the training. TCTC can also provide netbooks to the company for the duration of the course, however this will be done against a fee.
