"The teacher was FANTASTIC. The staff down stairs was great. Hotel and staff were also great"
Jacob Swedlund, Tecan. (3/6/2024 (Monday) to 6/6/2024 (Thursday))
"The instructor was excellent. The whole experience was fantastic. I would have liked another day to study for the exam, given how little I knew going in it would have been helpful. I think for a novice the particular course I was on did perhaps not give you the depth of knowledge to pass the exam...unless you have a eidetic memory!"
