- Thank you for the excellent training and knowledge

I had an instructor, Andrey, who is a truly excellent specialist with a good offshore background, worked in various positions, and is an expert in his field. He put us under stress, and in this state, he tried to get us to think and make informed decisions quickly and correctly in emergency situations. This is an ideal approach to training, worthy of respect. The Ukrainian training center Lerus really sets the pace and demonstrates the highest level of its instructors. I believe this level is definitely not lower than that of European and UK training centers, and perhaps even higher. This example truly shows that choosing the right people can make all the difference. Thank you for the excellent training and knowledge (Posted on 10/1/2026) - All good.
