## Accessing the courses

Faunalia delivers customized training courses, both **online** and **onsite**, tailored for businesses and public organizations.

The program and duration can be **fully customized** to meet your needs.

Regardless of the delivery method, we recommend a maximum of 20 participants to ensure optimal learning effectiveness.

[Contact us](mailto:info@faunalia.it) to request a quotation, details on course delivery options, or to schedule training dates.

#### Onsite

We conduct **on-site** training at your premises at a fixed daily rate, regardless of participant numbers. Typically, we require a minimum of 3 weeks' notice to organize and deliver a course. Although they require greater organizational investment, on-site training increases interaction among participants, fostering learning and ensuring effective teaching. For these reasons, Faunalia **primarily delivers** on-site courses.

#### Online

Depending on the number of participants, the subject matter, and the instructors' availability, Faunalia also offers the option of **online** training. Compared to on-site training, accessing online courses is undoubtedly easier from an organizational and financial standpoint, and lessons can be spread out in multiple weeks.
