Feedback
Highly professional, I learned a lot and the whole course ran very smoothly.”
Niall Ward, Dublin
Well delivered and engaging. A thorough introduction to auditing and the role of an auditor. Real world examples shared during the day really drove home the principles of the BEX Baseline.”

Very interesting. Lots of information given but time taken to deal with questions…information was imparted in a very clear way. “
