How did others evaluate the course?

“I took this Master Class at the recommendation of our CEO. We wanted to further expand the level of knowledge of LNG within our organization and this course seemed a good way to do so. The quality of the teaching staff certainly helped – they were all professionals with an impressive track record in the global LNG industry. In a intensive manner, the course covered many aspects of the LNG business – commercial and technical as well as operational. Personally, I felt that the exercises we did in groups provided me with strong learning opportunities. It gave us an opportunity for a hands-on experience with the complexity of the matter. In my daily work regarding LNG I still refer to the slides of the topics that were discussed during the course. I can honestly say that attending the LNG Master Class were three days well spent.”
