Training “is what we already think we know which prevents us from learning new things” Claude Bernard (French physiologist).
Umbria Training Center is a training agency accredited with the Region of Umbria for vocational and higher training (code 0015). UTC develops plans for schools, associations, companies and public and private organisations through specific services and makes use of a team of experts, consultants, and a network of national and international partners. The UNI EN ISO 9001:2008 certification guarantees the quality of the training and is obtained from the Bureau Veritas for research, programming and management of training, career guidance, advanced training for integrated international programmes. The ISO system is characterised by being completely integrated with the company’s information system, and is used by all the collaborators for managing, in a shared and transparent manner, the various phases of the programmes. Training can be customised based on the needs of the client, while considering the sectors of interest, the organisational structure and the development strategies. Training implementation takes into account the practical and logistical needs of the organisation (duration, division into modules, location, etc.). In recent years UTC has held customised training programs for a wide range of organisations and professional associations.
