Scaling up & keeping cost controlledExample: A 5-day training course
Even when not scaling up: Delivery through TaGLA is considerably cheaper the moment one looks to include participants from more than one country/location
Cost per participant fall sharply when using TaGLA as a delivery mechanism
TaGLA is a member of GDLN, a global network for knowledge sharing
