“Excellent Course for supervisors and foreman. You get to better your knowledge around civil and being a supervisor/foreman.

This course has taught me to plan ahead to know where you’re going and what you want to achieve. I also have more of a health and safety focus outlook.

The support processes for assessments were very helpful and precise.”
