“What Our Clients Say”
“I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for the fantastic CRM training you conducted for us yesterday.
You have a knack for making what’s normally quite “dry” material not only informative but also fun and engaging. I think we all appreciated your approach.”
“I found the course excellent. I really enjoyed your delivery: very professional and disarming/entertaining at the same time.”
“The course prepared me well and I did learn many new concepts that I will be able to use in the future.”
“Thanks so much for your patience and sharing your knowledge generously. Please forward my gratitude to the rest of the staff who made this course an unforgettable experience.”
“Thank you, it was a pleasure to attend this course. Coming away from it I felt that it was a very well presented course and a great learning experience.”
“Thanks Dave; I really enjoyed the course. You were an excellent instructor. I really learned a lot on the course and feel it prepared me quite well. I will be highly recommending your course to anyone I meet looking to do ACP.”
“I thoroughly enjoyed the course. Hearing the different perspectives on evaluating from all the different operators helped me establish where the “goalposts” are for ACP checks. In the Sim phase Bob put forward some interesting scenarios and “gotcha” type questions. Very thought provoking. See you in three years!”
“Thanks again for the enjoyable week on the ACP course. You made the learning experience a pleasure with your vast experience and knowledge, combined with your friendly and easy-going style. I learned a lot!”
“It was a real pleasure getting to meet you and learn from you and John, as well as the other students in the class! I had a great time and learned a tremendous amount. I went into my Monitor Ride, Initial Briefing and my first ride (yesterday) feeling extremely well prepared.”
“Thank you for the wonderful CRM course presented to us over the past 2 days. Six years ago, I attended your ACP Initial course and I was thoroughly impressed by your dedication to our industry and your presentation of that course.”
