What our delegates say

Dear Ronnie It should be thank you for the knowledge that you shared with me and the professional manner in which you presented the course. It was my pleasure to be in a room with somebody as learned as yourself and to find that you are down to earth. The course was magnificent as it taught me some amazing ways to work out answers - which I normally battled with. Personally I think this course was a resounding success and I would definitely inform some friends of mine. To me - the best part of the course was the way in which it was presented as this was done superbly with humour and tact and a friendly atmosphere. If ever there is a follow up course - I will be there. I am 100% certain that this was the best course that I ever attended and I am willing to answer any questions to anybody who says otherwise. Once again - thank you for the great course

Wonderful course. Lots of interesting concepts. I have definitely changed my way of thinking since doing the course the first time and now the additional day of budgeting etc, will make me change ways again.

Hi Ronnie Once again thank you for the course. As mentioned I have been on various financial courses over the past many years. The manner in which you presented your course was very relevant to the non - financial fraternity. It was precise and gave a very good in sight into how all members of a company contribute, and are affected by the overall company financials. It also gave us an idea on how to strategize and plan various aspects of your specific responsibilities around improving efficiencies based on the financial effect on the company.

Dear Ronnie. Thank you for the knowledge instilled, even though at times it must have frustrated you that we struggled to grasp the concepts, being technical as opposed to financial people. Speaking for myself, on day one, I indicated the basics that I hoped to gain out of the course, and I am happy to say that I gained more than I bargained for. You very wisely said that we would be surprised at how much we would actually learn and in my case that was definitely true. I now know what ledgers, what purpose they serve and how income and balance sheets are prepared, but best of all understand DEBITS and CREDITS. I thought that your presentation of the material, as well as the course content was of an exceptional high standard, and you certainly kept us awake during the day. I especially liked the way that you continually involved all participants on the course with your question sessions, this I believe kept all of us on our toes, and not always having one person answer as so often happens. Kind Regards Alan Johnstone. Bytes Systems

Hello Ronnie Yes, you are correct, I did learn a lot in 2 days. I attended a one year, part time Damelin Business Management diploma course some years ago and passed. Even then, I learned more about finances on the course you presented, in only two days. I would recommend your course to anyone wishing to expand their knowledge, in financial matters and for what it is worth, you may use this mail to that effect. Thank you and regards Charles Simes Bytes Systems

Dearest Ronnie, First to thank you for a wonderful course, and secondly to say you have a God given talent for teaching, I found you a wonderful teacher/mentor. I have put this course off for the past 5 years, as this is my weakest point and I really did not want to expose my ignorance, however once you had finished with me, I thought I could do anything regarding financial matters, not so. I have revisited my manual and done the exercises again, found it little difficult, however with your excellent training I could hear your voice and see your explanations in my head, and then could do them all. Once again thanks so much for your time and dedication, keep doing what you do so well and my every wish for good health and much fun. Fondest, Mal Orren Aberdare Cables
