Southern Nuclear Steve M.(What I liked most about the seminar was...) Practical field experience of the instructor.
Kinder Morgan Nelson F.You learn that the crane work you so it's best to be fully alert of vision so you can
properly see the mechanics of your equipment in operation.
Nucor Steel David K.Course was very thorough and did very good job at efficiently putting out a lot of
information in a short period of time while still making sure information was absorbed by students.
Boeing Gary M.(The Instructor) is doing a great job and one of the best, if not the best classes, I've had at my company in 20 years!
Midw. Indust. Coatings Peter G.Great information in this class! (I liked…) skills test on crane.
