"Ann was a good course leader, presented well and clearly knows her material well. She also made the course fun."
I Campbell, Johnson Matthey, UK
"Course content was excellent. The timing split was also spot on – longer sections on regulation and less time on things less relevant to chemical engineering but important to know about."
T Hart, Sellafield Ltd, UK
