1. Our Technical Service Personnel are trained directly by the manufacturers of the brands that we distribute. The training may happen in 1 of 3 ways (or combinations thereof) –
- Philippine Training – where our supplier / partner sends over their technical service trainor to the Philippines to work with Wellness PRO technical service team and to give training here.
- Regional Training – where our Wellness PRO technical service personnel join fellow technical service personnel from other distributors within the region to undergo technical service training in a designated country.
- Manufacturer’s Head Office Training – where our Wellness PRO technical service personnel attends technical service training at the global headquarters of our supplier/partner in Europe, USA or Japan.
