Dr. H. Pat Artis
One of the most important questions you have to ask
when you are considering public or inhouse education is the level of knowledge
and experience of the instructors. Our instructors are internationally recognized
experts in their selected fields who have developed their own teaching materials
-- not just read seminar materials that someone else has prepared. If you
need real answers, insist on a real expert!
