Congratulations to our students on successfully completing the MTU S2000_M CM1 & CM2 training course in April 2024
The MTU S2000_M course was great!! I learnt a lot! The knowledge that Fanie has is incredible! To be able to take the engines apart and see how it all operates was super helpful! Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to further their knowledge on the MTU engines!

I wanted to express my gratitude for organising the MTU S2000_M course even if one of the students pulled out, thanks for the extra steps taken to make it happen. I learned a lot from the MTU engine!

Good morning Bernhard.
As promised, please find below my review:”I recently attended a 2-day online cyber security course, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. The online platform used to host the course was seamless and intuitive, allowing for effortless navigation and engagement.
The instructor, Bernhard, who went above and beyond to ensure that the learning experience was not only informative but also enjoyable. Bernhard was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and organised, making complex concepts easy to understand and relate to. Their passion for cyber security was evident throughout the course, and their ability to explain technical topics in a clear and concise manner was impressive.
I highly recommend this online cyber security course – you won’t be disappointed!”
Hope you have a great day further.
Kind Regards,
Barend.

Hi there Bernhard,
Once again thank you for all the help on the course. I will be joining the new project with confidence!
The Networking Essentials course gave me the confidence needed to step up into a role which required more responsibility and networking knowledge. From here I believe the knowledge in networking will be exponential and I look forward to taking another course in the future.
I would like to say a special thanks to Bernhard for his ability to make a seemingly daunting topic quite manageable and kept it interesting throughout the course. I highly recommend this course for anyone wanting to gain confidence in their ability to tackle basic Networking issues and configurations.
All the best,
Joe
