THE FTA MISSION: WE FOCUS ON PEOPLE
AND PUT TRAINING FIRST IN ORDER TO DEAL
WITH AN EVER CHANGING WORLD.

FIVE GOOD REASONS

TO CHOOSE OUR SEMINARS
Our trainers are professionals boasting a direct experience in the field and capable
of providing a practical approach to teaching.

Seminars combine theoretical and practical lessons (there is a special test field), plus visits
to sites and productive sites, in order to provide a more comprehensive training.

Students are at the center of the training, thanks to their active involvement by their teachers,
the possibility of discussing and asking questions and and a final check test which will be
commented on in class.

The continuous technological innovations achieved by the Trevi Group immediately become
available to the Academy and transferred to its students.

Training is a key tool supporting professionalism and talent and therefore improves work
performance and consequently also profit.
