Thank you for an excellent experience of learning the basics of the Fanuc robots. The knowledge you demonstrated, your preparation to adapt the course to fit the needs of what needed to be covered, and tailor the training to our knowledge level as well as Comco USA's business needs, made the 2 days spent there an extreme value to both me and my company (Comco USA).

It always shows when an instructor believes and enjoys what they are teaching. I believe your training would be a great value to anyone wanting to learn how to operate the Fanuc robots.

David Mitchell, Service Engineer, Comco USA

I really enjoyed the training, as well as the city and the surrounding area.

I am very impressed with the professionalism and dedication you have. The training was packed with the tools I needed to succeed. The theoretical content, along with the hands-on practice in Michigan Tech's Electrical Engineering Technology lab, gave me the confidence I was looking for.

I really liked your approach to the course, starting from emphasizing the safety aspects related to robot operations. The outline of the course was designed to get you into the robotic programming field in a continuous gradient, so I made huge steps in just two days of training. I definitely would not hesitate on taking more training at Michigan Tech.

Douglas Torres, Assistant Service Mgr. / Service Engineer, Comco USA Inc. - Nashville Office
