Reviews - Competence assessor training

Highly recommend

Value

During a course, I learned a huge amount of information for the professional conduct of assessments, which develops and raises my professional skills to a higher level. Thanks to the Lerus crew for full support and to instructor Vitaliy for the intelligible explanation of the OPITO standard requirements. Review by A. Oryekhov (Posted on 9/5/2023)

Positive

Value

The course is well delivered with necessary knowledge on the subject and the faculty were very accommodating with the shortcomings I had.
Walk in empty and walk out as a competent accessor with the standards maintained and preached by the Lerus Instructor with at most precision. Would recommend the centre if you are looking to get certified amidst a professional environment with great infrastructure and faculty.
