SUBJECT: Ultra-Sound Level I Training Course
Jim,
This is a short letter to express my thanks and to provide you with feedback after attending your
Ultra-Sound Level I training course. As a licensed professional mechanical engineer (PE) and an
ANSI Certified Maintenance and Reliability Professional (CMRP) I found your course to be
excellent in both theory and practical application. Also as an MBA, I found your approach to
quantifying benefits as being a solid, conservative approach based on under-promising cost
avoidance and over-delivering in value.
I found you method of instruction to be exactly aligned with what my clients have expressed as
their preferred form of training. My clients range from industrial process, discrete
manufacturing and facilities management organizations to federal and state government utilities.
In most cases, these customers are looking for vendor neutral training provided by experts with
application examples and advice.
Your course of instruction was an outstanding blend of theory and practical application. This
excellent method results in people understanding the physics involved, and then applying what
they learned to cement the knowledge. When people apply what they have learned under
simulated or actual field environments they develop the confidence to apply what they learned
independently.
During the class, you were able to blend “Ultrasonic War Stories” into the discussion. Because of your
history with the major ultra-sound equipment vendors, and the extensive amount of hands-on,
field experience you have, you were able to answer application questions without hesitation.
For me, and others in the class, it was a welcomed benefit to have someone who had intimate
knowledge of equipment construction, operation, strengths and weaknesses of each of the
common ultra-sound models. You were able to customize, and individualize, the training for
each attendee based on the specific equipment they had available. All this was done without any
sales-pitches. You adeptly pointed out where each model had best application for specific
operations.
I will be pleased to recommend your training and consulting services to my clients and others.
Well done.
