‘Great refresher in sampling techniques and source of information with regards to remediation techniques’
Matthew Penny, Halcrow Group Ltd
‘… I saw this training course as an opportunity to refresh, but also build upon my current knowledge. I particularly hoped to develop skills that were more appropriate to the business rather than academic field. I found the course to meet all my expectations, and more, having already identified areas in our approach that require updating and improvement…
I thoroughly enjoyed the course and would recommend it to all current and future employees throughout my career. I see these new found skills to provide me with a sound base for environmental research for many years to come...’
J. Webster (Environmental Consultant), Capita Symonds
‘I am a reasonably experience site investigation worker… On this course I was able to learn how to refine the techniques that I already use in site investigations and also gained a considerable amount of new practical information that will help me in my career ahead. With excellent lecturers and support staff taking the course in the pleasant surroundings of VanWalt base in the south-east of England, I can thoroughly recommend this course to those who are starting out in environmental sampling and those who have a few years experience under their belt.’
M.O. Ross, (Environmental scientist), Nexia Solutions
‘…The course had a very good mix of theory sessions backed up by practical sessions, which would be useful for consultants with all levels of knowledge, from the inexperienced to the very experienced, everyone should be made to take this course. I found everyone at Van Walt very kind and very helpful and will certainly be recommending the course to my colleagues...’
L. Fuller, (environmental consultant), GroundSure Ltd
