I just completed my sixth course and this was the first with Jacob. From the start he was engaging and polite. He is the first trainer who never spent the two days given us is life history, it was all about the training. The was he completed to subjects than you got the four or so questions while you had fresh retention. I completed my two days with out panic. I can highly recommend the Company and Jacob Carr our trainer. On a kind note he is a fully fledged Ginger 🫚😁😁😁😁
