Testimonials
Excellent knowledge of instructor and well-structured course with good practical hands on experience.
On Tuesday Ben and Dan attended the towbar fitting & wiring level 3 course and after speaking to both of them on their return I would like to thank you, Nigel for what sounds like a very informative course, very professionally run.
They have come back with a new motivation to make our towbar fittings even better and more professional. Thanks again.
Best regards Andy Brown.
Ps. Very keen to demonstrate their new found knowledge of CANbus systems the following day I presented them with a 1953 Dodge Wayfarer convertible complete with US standard lighting system for a towbar and single electrics! Suffice to say the ‘old dinosaurs’ Roly and myself did that one!
