Thank you ever so much for facilitating my BOAS course last week. I found the content very relevant, extremely interesting and its delivery first class. I have certainly taken away information that will help us operate our Auxiliary Boiler in a more efficient manner. The best course we have been on, particularly for how the content was delivered.Classroom Attendee
