Lloyd's Register specialists can also deliver a dedicated in-house programme for a minimum of six and maximum of 15 staff members. The two-day course delivery includes all support materials, as well as costs and expenses for the tutors. Venue costs are excluded, as the courses are expected to be held at the client company's premises. Costs may vary; for instance, training is £7,412.00 in Oslo or Copenhagen and £6,850.00 in London. Other locations may be available on request, so please get in touch to discuss more.
