“Being new to furnace refractory, I found the training to be very informative and easy to follow. As you pointed out at the start of the meeting, a lot of the information insights would come from the other participants, which was very useful. As it stands for me, I would not change the format. the training and style of training was excellent. I would also like point out that the English language of all the trainers was exceptional and very easy to understand. I only wish I could communicate in a different language as well as all of you!” |
