“The tailoring of a few minutes of the course specifically to my industry was not expected, but greatly appreciated. I gained numerous classification resources and tips from John throughout the training. Even the practice problems that were outside of my typical scope (sets, kits, machinery) were useful exercises. Excellent course – will be back!
