Dear Mark:
We conducted API 510 training course from 21 July to 29 July
by inviting Lutz Seibt in Malaysia. The course was attended
by 23 applicants and the results of the questionnaires were
excellent. I really appreciative your recommendation for great
lecturer and hope you to give us your useful consultation for a
long time to come.

I have sent my employees to other training classes and
have had little positive feed back from the employees. This
was reflected on their test scores. I then sent three other
employees and I myself attended a MSTS class and was
very pleased with the manner in which the subject matter
was presented. All of my employees left with a real under-
standing of the subject matter, and confidence that they
would pass their API exams!

It was an excellent program conducted by a very
experienced tutor. The discussion topics were directly
related to my work scope and responsibilities & helpful and
recommended this course to any inspection personnel.
