Feedback
Some of the feedback received from the past course participants:
- "I am satisfied with the course and delivery. I have conducted a number R and R gage studies, and this was a good refresher with some new concepts or methods sprinkled in."
- "The course suits managers and supervisors who are dealing with measurement because it is interactive and clear. It gives much more value than 1 or 2 day seminar. One of the greatest features of the course is the ability to interface with Glen on matters of difficulty and practical application of the course material."
