No cloud sandbox or hands-on technical environment is required for this curriculum.
What is Koenig's rescheduling and cancellation policy for the Personal Effectiveness Training course?
Koenig allows free rescheduling of Personal Effectiveness Training if requested more than 7 days before the start date; rescheduling within 7 days incurs a 50% fee of the total course cost.
