Languages

We provide a comprehensive bilingual environment at our workshops, webinars, trainings so that participants fluent in both English and Ukrainian feel equally comfortable.
If the instructor uses slides, we ensure that bilingual slides are prepared, and if he/she uses videos, we subtitle them so that each participant feels equally comfortable learning. Audio broadcasting is done through separate audio channels, particularly in English and Ukrainian. Furthermore, participants in both languages find it equally convenient to ask questions and engage in discussions.
