ABOUT JOEL LEVITT

I would just like to take the opportunity to congratulate you on a very well-run workshop. The content was applicable and understandable. I have already used some of your knowledge to "assist" our maintenance department. The highlight of the presentation for me was the way in which the course was delivered. You certainly know how to get the message across and make the attendees comfortable. Once again my congratulations and thanks.
