We believe in some core values at Bots & People that are also reflected within our Academy:
A facilitated learning journey includes a set-up phase where we jointly define the relevant learning objectives, schedule and delivery. After the set-up phase, we support and guide the learners through the academy content and accompany this with several live sessions. This way, the learning group is fully guided and knows exactly what to do and where to ask questions. At the end, we also collect feedback and do a retrospective. Facilitating a learning journey can take varying amounts of time, but experience shows that most learning journeys last between 4 and 12 weeks.
At the moment, we do not offer individual packages. But we encourage you to talk to your manager, teammates, or L&D department to find like-minded people. If you are a group of interested automation learners, contact us. In some cases, we can provide learning trips for as few as 3-4 people. Let's find out!
