In the article, the following aspects are examined: 1.What are the differences in demand for training services among firms from the SMEs sector and larger companies? 2. What are the determinants of making the decision about using particular training company and training topic? This paper analyses the characteristics of using training services by SMEs from the Pomeranian region of Poland and compares the results with those for larger companies.
