CORPORATE support & TRAINING
AOTT has commenced due to the demand in the online environment of therapists and other professionals needing to be digitally ready for their clients.
With the Millennial and Gen Y generations being technically savvy, and on a variety of apps – all the time, AOTT can train professionals whichever level they may be at in their digital preparedness for clients.
AOTT also provides consultancy for the following services:
-Coaching and consulting for organisations
-Consultancy services for building your online courses
-Executive support to directors of SMEs, companies and larger organisations
-Instructive support for human-centred & human-behaviour-centred technology projects
-Supporting private practitioners to build their practices
-Joint partnerships, or cooperatives for training projects
-Innovative coaching, consultancy and branding support for people skills and service-based organisations – psychology, counselling, psychotherapy, medicine, allied health, complimentary therapists, coaches, consultants, lawyers and financial companies.
Importantly, AOTT is not a technological company.
Instead, AOTT is a training service and offering to be an ‘intermediary’ service in order for people to be able to speak the same ‘jargon’, be able to converse with our clients, be able to ‘better service’ their client groups and feel ‘more present’ in the digital environment.
The different levels of AOTT online therapy training and Telehealth professional development are offered as a result of demand from Renee’s training – to learn more basic and more advanced training skills of digitally connecting to your clients, patients or customers in the online space.
The Levels of training that are on offer through AOTT are:
