GTC Customer

“I learned things I wasn’t even aware I should know. John’s knowledge and enthusiasm on this subject was amazing! Very interactive, fun way of teaching a subject that to me is very much not fun.
Great Job!”

GTC Customer

“Overall good material and good presentation. I like how the instructor required participation from all participants. The instructor really made us think about our internal controls/processes and how we can make them better.“

GTC Customer

“The structure of the course and the material was well-thought-out and allowed me to really dive into the content. The foundations the instructor built at the beginning were evident throughout the full day’s course and reiterated well and at strategic times. The instructor was engaging and very receptive to questions and examples and encouraged participation without creating the feeling of being “picked on” or “singled out” for experience (or lack thereof). I learned a lot during this session and would love to continue taking these types of seminars because I learned a lot and it is doing to be directly applicable to my role!”
