THE TRAINING AND CONSULTING TEAM

OPT Training and Consulting Services delivers seminar-workshops that are skills and competency-based. We focus on immediate and practical application. Each training program is embedded with workshops, guided group discussions, case study exercises and role plays. We equip training participants with skills they can use after the seminar – we guarantee transfer of learning from the workshop to the workplace.

The training outfit is formed from the combined years of experience of business practitioners who have walked through the best and the worst in the local and global corporate environment.
