I would like to thank the trainer for his down to earth manner and easy approach.

The class that I attended was a mixture of people from all trades and professions, and to the trainers great credit, he guided all of us successfully through the course, readily connecting with managerial staff and guys at the coal face like me, and then coming on site with us.
