Rick Brodie DS Smith ISO 9001 Foundation

I have attended many courses and would say this is one of the best courses I have participated within over the last two years. In fact I was disappointed when the course ended !! This will lead me to undertake more courses with Batalas definitely, great job.

Martyn Jones Best Price Scaffolding ISO 9001 Foundation

Considering e-Learning is my LESS favourite go to training way I was presently surprised, this was mainly due to the way the instructor delivered the sessions, the instructional technic tried to simulate that you were learning in a conference room by using projectors, flip charts etc.
