Nucor Steel Erik G.(What I liked most about the seminar was…) Calculation of loads
Audubon Metals James F.It helped me to understand more about the crane as of how it worked. It also
taught me a lot that I didn't know that will help me with my job.
Conoco Phillips MichaelVery friendly, seemed to be well knowledgeable to this work. Broke up class with
enough breaks.
Alabama Power Brent R.Good material and a good instructor. Learned a lot and enjoyed the course.
American Axle David H.(What I liked most about the seminar was...) Hands on training and lift
calculations. Very good content. I received more out of the class than I had expected at the onset.
