Education
Education at Vision Factory means learning new things, developing oneself and striving forward. Education is a response to a need that a person, team, or an organisation wants to learn.
Together with our partners, we run training courses and education open to all. You can learn more about our open education on the News page.
Customised education refers to education designed for an organisation based on their specific needs. These educational entities are always designed in collaboration with the customer.
Coaching
Coaching at Vision Factory is also learning and developing new things, but with coaching the process of learning and developing is taking place at the same time as the organisation is moving forward.
In many of Vision Factory’s consulting projects, coaching is a part of the development process. Staff and management learn new skills while consultants support the organisation in moving forward and achieving its goals.

The material was of high quality and inspiring. It formed a clear and theory-based entity as intended, but in such a way that each piece of teaching material works also independently.
