What our trainees say

I enjoyed the training I attended in October, learned a lot and still use my notes and your booklet to keep refreshing my brains.

Gaby Werkman – Technical Sales Manager, KINESYS (a TAIT Company)

I’m very happy we were finally able to participate in the Blumano training session. It’s been valuable to us and certainly has provided some focus. Additionally, we all really enjoyed your teaching/coaching style, I don’t know if you feel that it’s something you need to put a lot of effort into, but you appear to come by it very naturally, bravo! I’ll be using you as an example to emulate as we train our next trainers.
