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.
