“I was looking to participate in a training where we could compare oil and gas versus geothermal. Geothermal Drilling course provided exactly this; now I have a better understanding of the geothermal world and how important is the experience from the oil and gas industry for this type of projects. Kevin did a great job sharing his knowledge!”
