Business Focused Training:

Certain businesses use Canterbury Maps on a daily basis, so to use it effectively and efficiently, training sessions can be of great benefit. Other businesses may not know that Canterbury Maps could improve their work, so a session could help to uncover a whole range of possibilities. Read some of our user stories to understand how some businesses use the services available 

To request a training session for your business, you will need to meet the following criteria:

  • Minimum of 6 people
  • A description of what your business focuses on so the training can be targeted to a specific area of work
