We believe that methodology is as important as technology. We provide training as part of our project implementation but also as standalone courses to interested parties. S2T has delivered over the years dozens of training courses to our technology customers as well as to training-only customers.
Our course syllabi are constantly updated against changes in the landscape as well as with new techniques and practical tips. While we have standardized syllabi, we customize program delivery to the level and interest areas of the audience. While majority of our training courses are delivered in English, we deliver some of the courses in other languages such as French, Arabic, Russian, Bahasa Indonesia, and Chinese.
Our current list of courses are listed below.
