Will you be a part of our knowledge centre?

The software package of OT-Pro was founded in the academical world and was redesigned and reformed into a complete package for the working field.

As a member of this knowledge centre you can use the tool for free until the end of 2021. The OT-Pro team offers you a personal intake and an evaluation moment.

Why?

Within the Academy, several items will be initiated like working groups around coding, measuring instruments, tests, etc ...

Also, during the personal guidance the OT-Pro team can detect the specific needs of the users and therefore create the perfect tool.
