An excellent and productive week with Michael Cotton. 3phase training. The centre is overall a great centre and the content was delivered impeccably well by Michael. All questions were heard and cleared up well with several demonstrations if necessary. The learning environment was indeed well balanced which is important when you genuinely want to gain something from the course. I left with great satisfaction and confidence with 3phase knowledge and also left with a good understanding of 2 rate contacting and other areas we already work in. It was genuinely an excellent and productive time. Thanks Michael Cotton and USG. 😃😃💪💪🤝🤝🤝
