OMPT A/V technology and training solutions are uniquely adapted to the rigors of field work for the developing world. Our solution kits and training programs allow greater access and higher quality of instruction to be delivered in difficult and hard-to-reach places. The OMPT approach is one of consultative facilitation, where our staff provides services to our partners on the ground to assess needs and capabilities, and then offers a solution designed to address specific requirements, environmental conditions and desired outcomes.
