“I found the training and course content provided very useful. There were a variety of skill stationsthat allowed for the practicing and honing of new skills. There were also a good variety of toolsavailable, and these were replaced if required during the training. The working areas wereappropriate to the course content and in good condition. I would attend again in the future as thereare courses that I did not take that look very useful in civilian life.”
