Programme overview
This is the programme we use to train our own consultants. It covers the full recruitment lifecycle with live mandate case work, and is designed for people who intend to recruit for a living rather than to collect a certificate.
Sessions run on weekends, and every module carries a practical assignment assessed by a working consultant.
