Tailoring the courseware
We understand that organisations may have their own requirements regarding the method. The training approach and supporting materials can be designed so it can easily (and at minimum cost) accommodate any customisation which does not affect the basic approach.
Typical options for customisations may include:

1. Addition of your logo and other 'look and feel' elements giving the courseware your own organisational identity to help generate buy-in
2. Modification of role names and terminology to support your current operational standards.
3. Tailoring certain elements of the programme management processes to suit your particular needs
