We specialize in conducting public programmes at Chennai during weekends and In-house training programmes during weekdays for several organizations, both in the public sector and private sector, both in India and also abroad. We conduct programmes in various states of India. Though 95% of our programmes are conducted in English, we also conduct programmes in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu & Malayalam.

Our training programmes are highly practical & result-oriented, with a combination of lectures, exercises, presentations, video recording, group discussions, role-plays, games etc. and hence the participants find the same to be extremely useful. Repeat programmes are conducted at all the corporates in which we conduct In-house training programmes and that itself justifies the usefulness of our In-house programmes. Our best ambassadors are our past participants and our clients.

The third generation has started attending our public programmes, which also proves the productivity of our training and our public programmes.

We conduct regular public programmes during weekends, at Chennai on “Effective Communication, Public Speaking & Personality Development”

We also conduct Summer Vacation Courses for Students, every year, during April, May & June.

We conduct In-house training programmes during weekdays for several organizations on various topics.

Who conducts the training matters. The trainer who is rich in his experience conducts the training and the participants are immensely benefited by learning from him as the trainer not only makes the training useful but also enjoyable.
