“If you want to improve career prospects and be trained by excellent trainers with a thorough knowledge of the industry and train at your own pace then I would recommend this program.” GaryBurrowes,BHPBilliton

“This has been the best study process I have gone through and for advancing the career it is a must. The program content is extremely good and practical as I have baffled my engineers with some of the questions in the assignments making them question the content they actually studied.” HenkBarnard

“This is ideal for people such as myself that don’t live or work in a city environment. It is the only viable way of increasing knowledge whilst working full time on a fly-in-out roster pattern.” BrettLapham

"When you are in a particular field and profession for a long time you rather think you know it all. This program has made me realize that there are new things to learn every day especially with the ever changing technology. " StephenDzveya ’’
