Project orientation
How to review approved brochures, pricing information, inventory notes, payment schedules and questions requiring official confirmation.
Communication skills
Listening, needs discovery, professional introductions, clear explanations, objection handling and respectful follow-up.
Lead generation
The principles of relevant outreach, enquiry qualification, content planning, consent, source tracking and data accuracy.

Choose a format and commitment that fit.
Different learning activities can require different time commitments. Review whether the programme is live, recorded, self-paced, group-based or supported by practical exercises. Do not assume that any specific format is included unless the offer confirms it.
Ask for the course outline, fee, schedule, access period, support scope and cancellation policy in writing.
