Gordon is well versed in the subject matter and has the necessary skills to put the content over to attendees from any background. Great tutor with patience and goes the extra mile to ensure each point is understood.”

"Gordon was an excellent trainer throughout the week. I had a bit of a learning blip on day 2 but with his help and the group getting involved I soon managed to get back on track with a good pass at the end of the week…. Gordon clearly has a mass of knowledge and experience that he shared with the course. Very engaging and he is no doubt one of the reasons that so many people passed."
