“I always enjoy training courses at JvR. I only attended Step 2 on the last day as I had previously completed Step 1 in 2006. I found Fatima to be engaging, knowledgeable and very professional in her interaction with delegates and her passion for the instrument and its many and varied applications is apparent. In addition, Alida is always the consummate professional and deals with everyone extremely graciously. Thank you for an excellent course, presenter, admin staff and venue. I thoroughly enjoyed the training and look forward to my next course at JvR.” – Karl Heslop
