I would like to thank XACOM and in particular Mick Higgins for his expert facilitation of our recent 2-day EVM professional updating course. The 2 days was thoroughly engaging and wholly appropriate, Mick provided many industry-based examples of EVM in practice, supporting his delivery with expert knowledge of the subject and associated software packages and platforms. Thanks again for making this a valuable training event for all concerned.
