This training will also teach you how to communicate and work effectively in groups and collaborate successfully with your colleagues.

Through this understanding, you will gain important insights that will propel you forward both personally and professionally.

Take this advantage and don’t waste any time. Get oriented from the start because the focus should be on you and your success, not on unnecessary misunderstandings that make you doubt.

How does it work:
After booking, you can start immediately. You find access to your course via the community login under "Your content".

Training Structure:
It is divided into 10 chapters, each broken down into short lessons using simple language and the microlearning principle. Each lesson focuses on a key concept, delivered through storytelling. The stories we use in the training are real, but to protect the privacy of the individuals involved, we have changed the names and some minor details.

Each lesson concludes with practical career tips and a call to action, encouraging you to reflect on what you’ve learned. At the end of each chapter, there’s a quiz to test your knowledge.

Duration of the Training:
It varies: some complete it in two days; others prefer to take it one chapter per day, stretching it over about two weeks. We recommend not doing more than three chapters a day to fully engage with the topic.

At the end of the training, you will receive an ICA certificate.
