Face to Face Training - Click to Expand

Aspire is happy to visit any organisation to discuss and evaluate the training needs that a procurement function may need.

GAP analysis can be undertaken to find if there are any areas where individuals may benefit from some more knowledge, practical training or one to one support.

Face to face training can be provided on a variety of subject areas and can be enhanced or reduced to suit each company to treat it as the unique organisation that it strives to be. If a course needs to incorporate several subject areas or be an amalgamation of two subjects that can be delivered. Aspire is as flexible as it is professional with its delivery of training material.
