Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions and key facts about our services.
Becht’s public training courses are offered on a set schedule at a venue that has been arranged by Becht. These courses can be attended by anyone in industry and are more appropriate when fewer than 10 people from the same company are seeking training on a specific topic.
Becht’s private training courses are arranged with specific clients and are only open to attendees from that client’s workforce. Private trainings are scheduled according to our clients’ needs and take place on site or at a location convenient to the client. We typically recommend a class size of at least 10 trainees in order to make the price of private trainings cost effective.
In both public and private trainings, your team will receive targeted training from Becht’s global team of Subject Matter Experts as well as the opportunity to ask questions and discuss industry experiences.
