Leadership and Communication

“Piedmont Tech was highly flexible in arranging

classes to suit Covidien’s schedule. Furthermore,

Piedmont Tech narrowed the scope of the class to

exactly what the Covidien participants needed.”

Eric Sorensen

Human Resources Manager, Covidien



With the release of ISO 9001:2008 and an upcoming ISO audit, our company

decided to seek outside assistance. The internal auditor course offered by

Piedmont Tech proved to be a wise decision for us. The instructor was

professional, courteous and knowledgeable. He took the time to translate

otherwise complicated verbiage into common terms for ease of understanding

and followed his lecture with practical exercises.”
