Our Professional Development Philosophy
The ACPOP was founded by industry professionals for industry professionals, so our programmes are designed with primary focus on Return on Human Investment (ROHI) and the flexibility to adjust to our client's Staff, organization and customers.
Additionally, we use a variety of methods and approaches to ensure that we teach our students competencies and not just theory. The main goal is to ensure that our trainees come out of the training program we conduct more effective at their job than before they attended our training.
To ensure that our customers can be confident that they will receive highly competent and up to date training and exercises we put together very demanding selection criteria for our facilitators.
