Customer Testimonials
"I'd like to praise Paul Tumulka who was my ADR trainer. Right from the outset, Paul was on the ball in terms of how well he was organised and how he welcomed us to the centre and the course. The course was quite intense but Paul made the experience being very smooth and pleasurable. I was looking forward every morning to going back, including on the exam day. Paul's knowledge and experience is beyond any words. He was very professional and funny, he was able to go the extra mile giving us real examples and making sure we knew exactly what he was talking about. Paul seems to love what he does and it makes a huge difference. He is simply the right person in the right position. Having now dealt with two of GTG's trainers (John Burns being the other one), I have a very good and positive opinion about GTG and their standards. That reassures me personally that my Class 1 instructor will possess the same high standards. I am looking forward to getting on the next course provided by GTG. Please rest assured that I will be recommending your company as the best training provider in our region."Rafal Wawrzyniak
