certification course, and the word is,
...You
like us! You really, really like us!
“This
was the best training I have ever been in; you both have a good
understanding of the needs of adult learners!!!! I liked the
examples used. I took ergonomics before and can honestly say I
understand it a lot better. I like the organization,
professionalism, safe open concept of the group participation and
enjoyed all 5 days thoroughly. The snacks at breaks were a great
idea. Think I gained a bit of weight. “
“I
have already recommended this course and will be meeting with our
corporate manager Thursday am to discuss this. I will also
be presenting these concepts to senior management as a contingency
to reduce our MSD rate.”
“This
was an awesome experience. I learned so much info that is all
applicable to me. I enjoyed working in groups and we had lots of
fun while working hard. Have been waiting for an opportunity like
this- so thank you. Nancy and Sandra are fabulous facilitators.”
