“OMPA's Offshore Client Representative Course succeeds in delivering a wealth of knowledge and information, and it does so succinctly and efficiently with a very short time-frame. The delivery of the course was both professional and well organised, and I can't praise the course tutor Captain Andy Readyhough - enough. He was the high point of an already first class experience. The course was indeed money well spent and would like to thank all concerned.”
