- Overview of other methods: ID3, FACT, QUEST
Type
Our method training courses are designed to be software-independent and cross-industry. We attach great importance to a lively and inspiring atmosphere in the training and therefore present examples from various application areas; software may also be used.
The course is open to discussion and contributions from participants. Our trainers respond to all questions from participants and answer them at appropriate points during the course.
Participants will receive all training documents in PDF format afterwards.
