James Bronwin –
Excellent Teaching standards, very professional and Knowledgeable.
Glen Hardwick –
Clint S was exceptional with his knowledge and explanation of the course. I was aware that ADR is particularly very full on, nothing was overlooked and Clint always made time to clarify and answer any questions. Like a barber I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else or anyone else to teach me ADR for my refresher training in the future (I hope this is the case).
Mathew Fuller –
Very good, extremely friendly, made the course interesting. Great teacher.
Mark Back –
Very knowledgeable about the subject and if Clint was unsure about a question put forward he was quick to find the answers.
Steve Limburn –
Excellent instructor, very knowledgeable & taught us in a very easy to understand way, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend anyone wanting ADR to come to your company & have Clint teach them.
Marston Whitcher –
Clint is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the subject. He is happy to work at the speed of the slowest student but still keep the rest of the class engaged. He really cares that all the class succeed. He always had an answer for every question that was put to him and nothing was to much trouble. I have done ADR 5 times and this was easily the best. Thank you Clint
