The MasterClass Online Commissioning & Start-up course met my expectations, I had more than enough of detailed materials including references and video clips from past commissioning projects. The one to one review after completion of each Phase module has been very helpful. I would give this course 5 stars and would highly recommend it to anyone interested. .
