All NTT seminars can be taught at your facility. We can tailor our presentation to focus on site-specific issues and incorporate those into the training seminar. You eliminate the need to travel to an off-site training location which saves your company time and money while your workforce stays close by in the event of an emergency. Our on-site training occurs when it is convenient for you: we can accommodate your 24/7 work schedule and we will even come to your remote locations. You can realize a cost-per-student savings of up to 25% or more by having the seminar at your facility.

NTT presents a completely unbiased training seminar and view of the industry. You may be sure that NTT material will be presented in a totally factual method without the inherent sales bias present in many manufacturer-sponsored seminars.

Out of respect for the privacy rights of others attending and to generate a free and open exchange of information, tape recording of NTT seminars will not be permitted.
