Many thanks for the call yesterday, it is always nice to hear from training providers in person to be congratulated on passing courses. It does not happen very often. I would also like to thank all the staff at WS Training, I was always welcomed to the training centre warmly and friendly. The centre is very well set up to deliver the training, and all the staff are willing to assist where they can, ensuring all questions are answered, if they don’t know, they will always find someone that does.
