Hi Michael, I'm calling about the new 'Advanced Project Management' training program. Our team is very interested in enrolling several members.
Hi Sarah, glad to hear that! It's proving to be quite popular. Do you have specific questions about the enrollment process or the program details?
Yes, primarily about the schedule and location. Is it an online course, or is there a physical venue? And what are the start dates for the upcoming sessions?
It's a blended learning program, with the bulk of the content online, but there are three mandatory in-person workshops. The next session starts on October 15th, with workshops held at our downtown training center.
Okay, October 15th. And what about the materials? Are they provided digitally, or will we receive physical workbooks?
Both. All core materials are accessible through our online learning portal, and physical workbooks will be mailed to registered participants before the first workshop.
Perfect. Lastly, regarding payment, is it possible to be invoiced directly, or do we need to pay upfront when registering?
We can definitely arrange for invoicing. Just let me know the number of participants and your company's billing details, and I'll send over the enrollment forms and invoice template.
That sounds great, Michael. I'll get that information to you by the end of the day. Thanks for your help!
You're welcome, Sarah! Looking forward to having your team onboard.
