We are very happy to continue working together with Ms. Botorog and recommend her to other companies, as well." – Head of Technical Training & Language Courses "The course was organized in very professional and friendly way. During the course, the trainer spoke almost exclusively in German, which I find a very good an useful approach. The method units given per session were very good and well balanced. The needed homework deriving from every session was well planned with clear demands [...] This all resulted in well balanced demands on learning progress from every participant. The Group was small, consisting of 4 people so the Course Leader could dedicate the right amount of needed time to each student. [...] I would definitely join the course again when I will have time, as it was a pleasure to attend the course led by Mrs. Botorog." – Course participant
