Frank M. after a Basic Training in autumn, 2020:
“I would like to thank you once again for this training that we had the last two weeks. I have to admit that I was a bit stressed before the start, especially because of the online context of the sessions. And at the end, everything went great. The rhythm was adapted for a good comprehension of the concepts and there was enough time to practice and to ask questions. Not being so familiar as some others could be with the program, I never felt overtaken or uncomfortable during the training and I had the opportunity to learn a lot about it. I want to thank you for your patience, your comprehension and your help and pieces of advice during these two weeks."
Thomas L. after a Advanced Training in autumn, 2020:
“The Advanced Training was really great, Dirk mastered it! Congratulations for all the developments & success of gempa!"
