A typical delivery is half or full day + half or full day with a task between the two days, which are one to six weeks apart. Other options range from half a day to three full days. Follow-up and in-depth training on an annual or biennial basis is also an excellent method. The number of participants is unlimited but the methods are of course chosen according to group-size and situation. Educations are given on site or on distance, or as a combination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Educators<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Prof. Hietanen<\/em>&nbsp;has a unique experience in communication training in different settings, for different audiences, and for different purposes.
