Testimonial

Nandalal Manoo, Air Traffic Services Instructor, Trinidad & Tobago CAA
I have been an instructor for 10 years and this course took me to a new level of understanding and appreciation for what is involved in designing top quality training materials. The instructor was most qualified and knowledgeable in the field: she went way beyond what was required to ensure that the participants' individual needs were addressed.
