The Training is designed to familiarize the users to the systems, teach them how to execute different modules in the systems and troubleshoot minor problems. Amellar sought to deliver the best training possible and meet the users’ expectations, as they expected to gain more knowledge, be familiarized with and significantly improve their work through the systems.
