WFM Forecasting Training (3-daags)

Strengthen your expertise with our Forecasting Training for Workforce Management (WFM) professionals. The programme supports both developing and experienced forecasters, from solid fundamentals through to advanced techniques.

You can follow the three-day training on its own or extend it with two additional days at the expert level. The first three days form the shared foundation for both tracks.

The training is led by Ger Koole PhD, Giuseppe Catanese, and Elena Garlati and combines theory, practical exercises, and real-world contact center cases.

Program Overview

The training consists of a three-day Practitioners level and an optional two-day Expert level extension.
