Said the following about Rich Parry:

“Throughout the entire training courses we run at Siemens via Setec Rich Parry stands out the most. When challenged with room changes, attendance failures and general training fluctuations he completely takes it within his stride overcoming them with a friendly approachable demeanour.

When it comes to a Monday morning and I know that Rich is teaching a course I know that delegates will be well looked after, engaged and will undoubtedly learn a great deal and pass the course. One delegate who undertook a TPWS course wrote on a feedback form “excellent trainer, had him for BS1, simplifies aspects to make them understandable, very happy with competence after course”. Another course delegate wrote “Richard was easy to approach”.

The knowledge and experience that Rich brings to each course is clearly evident by the feedback by the delegates. Through his style and method of teaching his skill set is shared with his students in an easy to follow format. He is able to draw on his experience, approachability and personality to engage students and always goes out of his way to make sure delegates comfortable with what they have just learnt.“
