Educational and Engaging

Instructor had vast knowledge and experience and responded to questions with concise information and with additional supporting guidelines (e.g., website links to FDA code, FDA mitigation strategies database). I like the fact they made all of us engage and participate in the training through questions and participation in the exercises. Good examples provided by auditors and very applicable to the industry. Really enjoyed this training!
