Specification and Service Level Agreement Training Course Overview

The specification is the statement of service or product needs, including workmanship, material, and methods. A Service Level Agreement (SLA) is a written agreement between the client and provider that specifies how the specification will be delivered. Specifications and SLAs are intended to enhance the procurement process by ensuring that providers and customers negotiate and agree on what is required to be supplied.

This training session provides delegates with the knowledge of documenting the cost of the overall quantity of work and agreement between the customer and service provider. Acquiring the required knowledge and skills in managing documentation and agreements will help them gain high-profile ranks in multinational corporations and expand their professional network quickly.

In this 1-day Specification and Service Level Agreement (SLA) Training course, delegates will thoroughly understand product requirements stamen and the agreement to deliver them. During this training, they will learn about different types of specifications that are detailed enough to implement or take action.

Our highly knowledgeable instructor will lead this training with years of teaching experience in soft skills courses.
