I just wanted to thank Currie Associates

for the training they did at our site.

The quality of training and the pace

at which the instructor kept the class

moving was great. Her knowledge

of the material was also exceptional.

who participated in the class and the

feedback I got was nothing short of

outstanding, from the material to the

style of presenting.
