First class training facility, facilities and purpose-built structures offered an excellent training platform. The instructors were very knowledgeable and a great group of people. Looking forward to completing more courses in the coming months.
The lecturer was very knowledgeable and informative. The course was pitched at the right level and I really enjoyed the practical aspect of the course. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending the MRS for training.
