Trainee Feedback
‘’My perspective is from someone new to the industry. Excellent in terms of the way it was lightly introduced and then expanded upon. Very trainers’’
‘’This was so much fun, and I feel much more prepared to talk to my customers from both a supplier and process perspective’’
‘’Excellent. The hands-on practicals are far superior to any prior training I’ve had which are mostly bogged down with classroom time’’
