Just wanted to let you know what a pleasure it has been training with your organisation. I read the book, listened to the podcasts and the e-learning as well as last week with John and the whole experience has been a great balance of learning and preparing for the exam. I heard your iconic laugh at Portland house on Friday as I was walking past the room you were in and seriously thought I had listened to the pod casts so much I was hearing things – until John clarified that you were indeed in the building! Now I just have to wait for the results. Jigna, British Safety Council.
