Who it is for

For anyone who regularly meets the unknown: a new client, a colleague from another department, a tool, a trade they know nothing about. The method works whatever your job: at a front desk, in a workshop, at a patient's bedside, behind a screen, on a building site or at the head of a team. The module follows three urgent recruitments in unfamiliar trades, at a temporary staffing agency, but the exercises and the exam put you in many other situations.
