The course was all good my only criticism was the accommodation at hawkhills, But that information has been relayed to my employer, but happily would attend at the venue

Brian and Stewart were both excellent in their support throughout this course in the delivery of information and support to understanding technical matters. Brian made the course welcoming and achievable with his teaching methods. The facilities were very helpful with the course class sessions so that you can experience things in a practical sense. Thank you I thoroughly enjoyed this course.

I was resident on the course, staying at Hawkhills. Whilst the accommodation was OK I did feel the dining arrangements a little archaic from a choice and timing perspective. The course content, lecturer knowledge, and range of on-site facilities were excellent.
