It was appreciative that time was taken to answer questions. All questions were
answered with knowledge and skill. Reference material was well used to reinforce the "why" of what an overhead crane operator is responsible for.

The course was very instructive and taught me things I did not know. It was well
worth the time.

V&M Star Dan C.

Very good instructor, cares and understands the value of safety and what damage it
causes. (I liked…) the instructor’s knowledge and ability to listen and answer questions.
