business sense. It provides you with:

used for any of the following:

occur in mini phone segments 2 calls @ 1 hour each, or 3 calls @ 40
minutes each. The client is required to call the Master Trainer. You

an exercise and handling feedback from participants.

Trainer for each course you need to recertify in. You will be
responsible for presenting a segment of the course/s you choose to
attend to demonstrate your understanding of the materials. You will need
