What is TM2 group training?
- TM2 group training courses are now held on a regular basis throughout the year in the UK. The training is run over two days and you can attend either just the fundamentals or advanced day or both.
- You are welcome to bring your own laptop computer to the course which you have pre-loaded with both the TM2 program and a TM2 database. You are welcome to call the support team before attending for advice on how to do this (03333 422 800).
- There will be Wi-Fi available free of charge at the venue so you can login to your own database should you wish.
Throughout the day there will be time for Q&A’s. It is hoped that most attendee’s questions will be answered by practical examples and scenarios as they progress through the courses. Every effort will be made to answer any additional questions at the end of the day. All timings are approximate and may vary depending upon the size of the group.
