Here's what participants said

“Great course, great trainer!”

Remon Voorbij - Evos


"The course was well organised and the trainer was very well prepared and experienced."

“We are used to making bowties for our Report of Major Hazards, but those represent a static picture. Useful, but limited. This course allowed me to expand my comprehension of the tool capabilities and flexibilities to make bowties alive and contribute to a better risk awareness and risk ownership.”

Emanuele Gemelli - Petrogas


“A nice entry level course for everyone with a basic understanding of risk assessment. Gives a fresh insight in managing the barriers within your organization.”

Ferry Suitela


"Very clear explanation of the bowtie method."
