Testimonials:

Technical writing student, Ministry of Health:

Fabulous, valuable. Excellent real stories and examples, with reasons behind suggestions of techniques, and humour to keep a lightness to the course. Every point was broken down logically (with examples); that reinforces the understanding. I found Bills presentation excellent: knows and has used all that he was instructing; great speaker, descriptive and captivating. Perhaps the best chunk of writing information that Ive experienced. The entire time was rich and valuable, no slow dull moments, all extremely interesting and worthwhile. Thanks, Bill!

International Capital Projects:

Conducted preliminary negotiations for seaside timeshare properties in southeast Cuba.
