Corporate Travel Management Training

Coromandel SAS offers a series of training programmes for Corporate Travel Management Companies (TMCs).  These can be customised to individual company requirements with an emphasis on specific areas, as required.  Our consultant will usually send out a brief preliminary electronic survey, to evaluate requirements, and customise the training programme for the particular TMC.

Method of Delivery

Please note that we do not really need to send a trainer to your city to conduct any training. Of course, we can send out a trainer, but that will incur additional travel and hotel costs. We can instead, handle training online depending on the size of groups.

Coromandel uses Google Workspace for communications and collaboration. We use the platform for meetings and presentations and can use the same facility to train your staff at their convenience. It can also be done outside office hours.
