Course reviews
Chris was excellent with knowledge, management of the course, local knowledge of the spill and cleanup, and generally an all-round fantastic teacher. Jon has an amazing breadth of knowledge of the local area, the spill and cleanup, marine ecology, and his delivery of materials and field walks were fantastic.
The course was a great mix of classroom and fieldwork, but the field sessions were the real highlight. The facilitators were knowledgeable, approachable, and brought valuable local insight to every discussion.
I really appreciated the professionalism and enthusiasm of the trainers. Their experience made the course engaging and relevant, especially the environmental and operational perspectives in the field.
