While I have always looked out for the “freight train of destruction”, the enlightenment was the succinct education and implementation of techniques that could significantly reduce the chances of a “Kodak Moment”. Don’t wait, just book and immerse yourself! I wish I did so earlier!" - Nick Rassios, CIP-III www.academyci.com
