This was an excellent workshop/training course. Very informative and matched the course description very well. I certainly got my $'s worth.
    - Sandra Ross, World Bank

Out of the 6 or 7 courses that I have attended, Ergoweb is by far the best. The small class size and group discussions made for a great learning experience.
    - J. Borski, General Motors

I came to this training seminar hoping for some help with industrial ergonomics. I got that and much more! This training is fully loaded with solid application, good sense tools, and valuable information. I am excited to carry this training back to our ergonomics team and share the pieces that will enhace our ergonomics program.
    - Tricia Britt, Lockheed Martin

I did not expect to learn anything new during this seminar, but I did and I am more than pleased. Great hands on demonstrations. I for one learn better this way and appreciated these opportunities. The manuals are also a great tool.
    - Candace Hobson, TheZenith Insurance Co.

This seminar was very refreshing. You included copies of the slides, books to look at, books we can reference later! The most hands-on training I have ever had in a seminar. Great class!
    - Jennifer Holcomb, Micron Technology

Each Instructor did a great job deviating from the course content to addres special interest questions.

Thanks for a great time. Park City is an excellent site.

...best hands-on application course I've ever attended!"

Excellent use of time and resources.

Very good seminar -- well taught. You did a great job despite problems with the room -- electrical/net access etc.

You are putting the tools in the workplace, a big milestone in my experience.

Written material complete and thorough. I appreciate the references also...I will be able to use written material as background when writing reports. That is a very important feature for me.

The course was well taught and applicable to my job. The exercises were extremely beneficial and will assist me in applying the concepts...

Logistics, location and support were great!

Covered the material I could not find anywhere else...[Instructors were] very well informed and knowledgeable. Kept the class interesting and on track...Most informative. Covered the eval techniques so they made sense. Thank you!

The class touched on topics that were more in-depth than I would have thought - not a bad thing at all! It demonstrated the science (engineering) behind ergonomics, not just concepts. They did a very good hands-on demonstration using the tools. It was a great formal training and a great way to apply it to my workplace. The seminar was great. The instructors are very professional and patient and very accommodating. Thank you!

The hands-on applications were excellent...Most beneficial...Very knowledgeable [instructors].

Great discussion and hands-on applications regarding tools for assessments.

Very usable information that helps quantify recommendations to ergonomic controls."

I believe that this course provided a clear understanding of tools necessary to complete ergo evaluations. These tools were well presented and will be most beneficial.

The course was well taught and applicable to my job. The exercises were extremely beneficial and will assist me in applying the concepts that were taught.

Presentations were done very well ... [The demonstrations] were the best part of the training, giving you time to learn more about each item in-depth ... [The course] was great - I'd do it all over again.

Everything this course entailed was excellent. The trainers were extremely knowledgeable and the information was presented in a professional yet "light" environment.

Instructors also found additional requested information that wasn't going to be covered in the course.

It was exactly what I needed. Very useful information - will use it immediately. Instructors very personable. Background information very helpful. Written material complete and thorough. I will be able to use written materials as background when writing reports. That is very important for me.

The course was presented very well and covered material very relevant to work conditions.

Great seminar. Keep the number of attendees low so as to enhance and encourage networking.

I will suggest to everyone to attend your course. The ambiance, the teachers, everything was great.

I really enjoyed the class and made some great contacts. I hope to make more contacts and make more use of your resources. Thanks again, I really enjoyed the class.
