Andy hit a perfect balance in his training style for this course and was very patient. A great trainer and I would recommend this to anyone else in my position.

Andy is an extremely good trainer, he kept it light and added humour which is rare in gas design. The course material and content was pitched at the correct level. Andy adapted the training for me on day 3 as I had to stay at home as I was poorly.

Everything I need in my every day to day job was covered within this course.

The trainer was excellent, however the course wasn't long enough to absorb all the information. This would have been better over 4/5 days rather than the 2 days including exam as feel I did not take in all the information I would have wanted to and no time for revision for exam etc.
April 2021 - Scott Barker
There were a few things that i learned but again i would say more time is required on the course.
