on the In-Service Inspection WorkshopI really enjoyed the training. Les ran a great course giving a solid overview of the requirements for pressure plant registration. Les really knew the important points that needed to be covered. From his significant experience in this area he is able to deliver an excellent course on this sometimes hard to understand topic.
