Feedback from participants
"Pieter's way of teaching is detailed, logical and extremely practical. He explains concepts, and then puts them in context. Almost every question you've ever pondered is answered, and always with good humour and enough repetition until you get it. And then he followed up some days later with a terrific set of notes.
It was the best, most confidence-giving training course I've ever done."" Justin Murphy, "Collectors" ABC Television Hobart

"I really appreciated your training style - including your exuberance/enthusiasm for your field. The course I attended was in fact the most genuine training course I've attended i.e. a lot of practical, hands-on knowledge delivered by someone who knows and cares about what they do" With kind regards, Melissa Holland, Canberra
