“Cristiano has great professional skills, positive thinking, enthusiasm and generosity by the way he delivers his speech. I like most is the explanation on business models, he made it clear and the training materials are the latest”

Nurul Hakimi Shahri, Chief Executive Officer at New Fix Energy

In my opinion the course "Hydrogen New Business Models and Regulation" that was hosted by Mr. Francese was very well structured and did address all related topics. He explained even more complicated subjects clearly and showed an in depth knowledge of every theme that was tackled. I really enjoyed the interesting presentation not least also because all questions that did arise before or during the course could be answered directly by Mr. Francese. All in all I can clearly recommend his interesting training courses.
