After taking the Course...
"
Through the Two Day Supervisor course, I became much more confident and knowledgeable in my dealing with others on a new
job-site; I can easily discern whether something is unsafe and not adhering to Regulations - or is already safe, productive, and in order as is. I also now feel more adept with working with people on these (and other) supervisory issues. The fact that this course is Gold Seal accredited also means that it has more meaningful content for our industry. It's been a while since I took a course with Ella, but now I'm really looking forward to my next one with her. Any and everybody in the industry who is supervising and needs to obtain teamwork on a
job-site needs to take this course
." Werner Wiens, Wiens Underground Electric
"I finished the course with a much deeper knowledge of the importance and responsibility of a supervisor...So much has changed since I started in this industry... Ella did a great job of updating us on the Regulations and expectations of a safe work place." Charlie Bufalino, Sapphire Construction
