Training courses are available for the projects that credativ supports. Our material is created and delivered by our in house team, who themselves are experts in working with and supporting the software that the training course covers.

Course participants gain a thorough grounding in the software itself and hands on experience working through our practical exercises. Our course material is modular, allowing us to adjust the course programme to cover the topics which are most relevant to participants.
