Involvement Duthler Academy
Ans is a Duthler Academy’s lecturer for various legal courses. You can meet her at training courses about handling security incidents or organising the company legal operations effectively.
She keeps track and studies national and international jurisprudence and rulings of data protection supervisors. With this knowledge, Ans compiles and presents the current affairs of data protection quarterly. Also, she uses the knowledge for modifying the Duthler Academy’s training. Just as valuable to her are the students’ contacts and interactions and the customers’ exchange of experiences.
Experience has shown that well-trained staff is necessary for the continuity of an organisation’s business operations and successfully changing business activities and processes. It’s about integral and role-driven employees’ awareness-raising and knowledge building. Duthler Academy’s awareness-raising and training services focus on organising the business processes and change processes effectively.
This requires education and training based on the different roles that employees fulfill within an organization. Duthler Academy develops and manages these role-driven education and training for organizing generic business activities of customers using a company-specific learning environment. Making the role-driven training specific with the customers and then applying them and taking them under management by departments of companies is very motivating.
Not only customers see the added value of these education and training portfolios, the professionals of Duthler Associates and Duthler Academy also continuously follow education and training that suit their position. The intention is that employees will eventually transfer the knowledge gained themselves.
