Reinforcement tips are provided after you attend a live or video training session. Reinforcement tips are 30 second to 5 minute training reminders of the skills discussed in each training session.
Printed material is provided. Audio CDs are provided upon request. All this for the low low price of just $12.95*

*Customized live training events and customized video training are not included in the $12.95 per month subscription fee. All live training and customized video training are proposed on a case by case and company by company basis.
