Discussion and learning by doing in a supportive informal setting make developing new skills exciting. At Contrea all trainings are 2 or 4 hours long interactive workshops. This gives you enough time to get into the topic but is not too long, so you will not get tired (bored is not an option).

All trainings can be adjusted for groups of any size (up to 20 attendees) or an individual meeting. Select the training category for more information on each workshop.

Individual consultations on any of the topic below are also available. I can also offer the training to students or employees at your institution. If you are interested in a full day training or a customised series of workshops, please get in touch on contact@contrea.eu

Standard price for a 2-hour training is EUR 50 and for 4-hour training EUR 100 per person in groups 2-10 people. Larger groups and individual tutorials are priced separately, please get in touch to get the quote.
