“I really enjoyed Tim's teaching delivery style and content covered to prepare for the exams. The classroom participant numbers are kept to a size that allows the teaching level to be dictated by a smaller group and allows more one-on-one time on facets more specific to the student’s requirements.

"The administrative enrolment for this course was easy and feedback was done diligently. The format and information during and after course hours was more than adequate and the amount of people enrolled allowed more one on one interaction with the lecturer. Highly recommend this training facility to anyone renewing or doing well control for first time!"
