Testimonials — feedback from our customers


I’m pleased to advise that we have this week settled the proceedings for our client with a favourable outcome, due in large part to your excellent document examination work. The attitude towards settlement negotiations changed very significantly after your evidence was produced to the other parties – there was no attempt to challenge it.

John is very skilled and knowledgeable in his field. He was professional, patient and took great care in explaining the results of the assessment to us in simple terms.

I thoroughly enjoyed our session with John. I think he has a great knowledge on all different kinds of documents and he was very easy to talk and listen to. I loved the activities we did and I didn’t feel stupid asking him any questions. It was also good to be able to show his some of the real life things we are working on. Would defiantly (sic) be happy to do more work with him in the future.

The Bali Process project was extremely challenging with short delivery timeframes, multiple delivery platform requirements and various external stakeholders from the third party eLearning development company to the diverse end user community of 50 plus international border agencies. John was required to make key decisions in very short timeframes with considerable risk. It would not have been completed on time, within budget and with such great reviews without him.

The use of real documents as part of the training was excellent and the knowledge of the presenters was of a high standard and the interaction enjoyable.
