Drilling School Asia-Pacific
Testimonials
“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.”

"Tim was flexible with the course starting and completion times to maximize productivity. The course is held in a great facility with easy parking and all catering requirements are available in-house."

“The whole setup was really good. Small class size, so more individual teaching. Meals and facilities were very good."
Craig Mitchell | Drilling Supervisor | 2022
The administrative enrolment for this course was easy and feedback was done diligently. The format and information during and after course hours were 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 the first time!”

“The course was very well organised and in a great location. The small class made for an effective learning environment and allowed the material to stay on track. Tim was very knowledgeable and practical in his approach to well control and teaching the class. Thanks for a good course.”
