On-Site Offerings
ASTD can make arrangements for the Facilitating for Excellence Certificate Program to be offered at your organization. You might find it is easier, and more cost effective, for one of our facilitators to come to your site and teach a one-day seminar. Your attendees participate in the same learning experience offered at our public seminars, but have the convenience of being at your site and the benefit of covering the material with company peers.
