COMPANY PROFILE


GWA Training Brokers Incorporated was established in 1997 and is a collaborative consulting company that acts as a “training/development ‘matchmaker” - connecting the business training need to the appropriate training provider.  


GWA provides research, evaluation, advice and coordination of all types of training sessions, learning material and education consulting services. 


Although we offer an expansive list of training topics, we specialize in professional consulting skills training and the 

promotion of EduTourism opportunities specifically within Cuba. 

 

At GWA, we understand that you and your organization may not always have the time, resources or expertise necessary

to research the marketplace for the most suitable solution for your needs. This can result in the individual/group’s needs

are; either not satisfied or inefficient resulting in time and money wasted. 


Our goal is to help organizations achieve their goals by assisting them in recognizing and satisfying their needs. 


We want to ensure that the investment provides the optimum solution for your situation, at a reasonable price,

with the peace of mind knowing someone is doing the due diligence required. 

This can be accomplished without spending vast amounts of time researching the market by allowing GWA to do it for you. 


As an added benefit, we don't charge for our services we are paid in the form of a brokerage discount by the vendors!
