I enjoyed the course! Mark is clued-up about the subject matter and no matter how you pose the question he always answers because of the vast
experience he has on BC. Study materials are easy to go through and thank you so much for them as it makes studying very easy instead of having to go through those intensive information bearing modules, much appreciated.
Sharon Mothibe: BC Specialist; South African Revenue Services
A very informative course that will be extremely beneficial to our organisation.

Thanks again for facilitating the course.
Your approach and commitment was definitely a plus and truly valuable.
Considering the amount of content that had to be covered in the allocated time, I believe you adopted a very effective style to ensure easy delivery of the subject matter and understanding by the delegates.
Your ability to pay attention to detail and communicate important parts of the course was key.
As a participant, I was able to acquire very valuable information with respect to Business Continuity Planning.
I truly thank you for your commitment.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your assistance and presenting a wonderful course. You have made it possible for me to understand the 6 Principles of Business Continuity Management with ease. Once again thank you and I will recommend your course to anyone interested in becoming BCI Certified.
Kind Regards,

Greetings Mark,
I am so grateful to have had the opportunity of attending the BCI training in September 2010 face to face with an expert trainer right here in South Africa. You have afforded so many people a greater understanding of these best practice principles. Your method of teaching certainly helps to understand and apply the 6 pillars effectively in the work place. I would never have been able to “pass with merit” without your clear, succinct manner in imparting knowledge. It is a pleasure to continue working with you as the key representative for BCI in South Africa.
A grateful learner,
Trish Pryce-Williams
