Mr. Jose RODRIGEZ: surveyor in East Cost Marine Mozambique.

The course covered a lot of information, delivered in good way and easy to absorb. The structure was clear, logical and effective. USMA has obviously put a lot of thought and expertise into it.

Mr. KARDASILARIS DIMITRIS: Staff captain- Greece.

Very happy with the course I took here. Originally, I was a bit unsure of what to expect as I had never done anything to do with distance learning at all, but the content of the course and the way in which the tutor helped me it was extremely easy to follow.
