Josie Rue Gimani 1 week ago I really enjoyed the training as the trainer was friendly. He spoke loudly and clearly for everyone to hear him well. Questions were well answered. He demonstrated very well on all he taught us that needed demonstration. Tea, coffee, hot water, milk and sugar were available for us all and we were allowed to stretch our legs during the course of the training. This was good as everyone was treated with dignity and respect. Akhere Odion 1 week ago Very educative and interesting. I would love to be trained there over and over again.
