Clé Training Programme for 1999 |
| Clé Training Programme 1999 |
| CLÉ 's Training Programme for the year has been compiled using your responses to the questionnaire we sent out last year. We have tried, wherever possible, to offer the types of courses you asked for. If it becomes apparent during the course of the year that there is a training need not catered for here, we will do our best to organise an extra course. This brochure aims to facilitate forward planning in training. We would appreciate it if you could pass this on to the person responsible for Training in your company and, as with every other year, we would advise you to book early for courses- places are always in demand. |
