Concentrated Assessment Days
Operational Capability
Large-scale & mobile assessment days
Where an attorney represents numerous clients in one region, individual scheduling becomes unmanageable. We co-ordinate concentrated assessment days - multiple clients, multiple disciplines and a single professionally managed programme.
This capability extends beyond the major centres: assessments have recently been co-ordinated on this basis in KwaZulu-Natal, and similar programmes can be arranged according to the needs of the practice.
- Multiple clients assessed within one concentrated schedule
- Multiple professional disciplines co-ordinated together
- Travel and client transport arrangements handled
- Centralised venues, including outside major centres
