A Message from IDC Technologies TechnicalDirector, Steve Mackay
Dear Colleague, Welcome to our latest engineering pocket guide focusing on engineering formulae and conversions. We have been providing practical training for over 12 years throughout the USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, Singapore, South Africa and New Zealand. Although we are one of the largest providers of this sort of training and have trained a remarkable120,000 engineers and technicians in the past few years alone, we are not content with resting on our laurels and continue to achieve an amazing 99.8% satisfaction rating in which delegates indicated the course was "good", "very good" or "excellent".
