Writing and consulting

The skills NOW training manuals cover the prescribed units, elements of competency and performance criteria for SIR07 Retail Services Training Packages. The standard units use the ’skills NOW’ brand and are generic in format. A unit could thus include apparel, electrical, grocery, pharmacy or hardware examples - these selected on the basis of suitability.

Subject to volumes, our massive content bank enables us to modify programs according to customer needs such as:

• Publication under your own brand
• Publication to meet company or industry needs
• Select your own units
• Short courses - supply of selected units
• New units or programs written to your specifications
