Tvivla have done training since 1990 starting with general PC knowledge and effective usage of Microsoft Office and Lotus Notes. Today we offer online trainings with a strong focus on Agendo discunt (latin for leaning by doing). Our sessions are approx 25% theory plus 75% practice and discussions. Another word for this concept is flipped classrom where we expect the students to do challenges (homework) in between sessions to enforce learning and avoid the Ebinghaus forgetting curve.
Our sessions are always facilitated by two trainers. One of these trainers can be your own Scrum masters, Agile coaches or Product owners so we in paralell train your new trainers. Below a smorgasboard of sessions we do. We recommend you to try one of these sessions (for a 50% introduction discount) and then mix your own learning path for each target group, tailored for your actual opportunities and challenges.
Format of a typical session to avoid the forgetting curve
Training is just one part of your upskilling the knowledge. We also recommend a coaching effort in parallell aligned with the Toyota kata approach where improvment and mentorship follow the actual training. Reach out to us for more information.
