What organizations say about Joel Levitt's Maintenance training.

Steve Lindborg, Holcim (US) Inc. GM Theodore Plant
I have found Joel Levitt to be the most realistic and practical trainer I know. He can relate with the whole facility from the shop floor to the boardroom.
Chief Operation Officer Ali O M Adam TADCO Saudi Arabia
Dear Joel; I have attended many maintenance training courses, but none made the maintenance concepts so easy to understand and quite possible to adopt. We had a great time enjoying the way you delivered the message. I heartily wish you all the best.
Follow up note Ali O M Adam :

Lots of thanks for this effort. This class will help a lot in the implementation process. Already we formed a follow-up committee for the training concepts implementation. The points you highlighted will be given enough attention to grant smooth implementation. I appreciate your great assistance that spotted a light towards many dark areas in our maintenance activities. Showing others how to do things right in a friendly way is a great value, rare to find in today's world.
BEST REGARDS.

John Kluver, Engineering Supervisor, Queensland News, Australia
It was interesting to hear Joel basically reinforce what Grahame Adams and I had worked out here at Queensland News. We have introduced a couple of his tools in our planning function. To sit with other planners doing similar jobs was of a benefit, as the cross-pollination of ideas is always advantageous. Thanks for the opportunity to be a part of the workshop.

Kevin Adkins:

Good Morning

I wanted to reach out and say thank you for inspiring me to make a move in my career. I just finished one of your classes through Kansas University that gave me the extra credentials that my employer was looking for but didn’t know it. Landed the position as the new Coordinator for Building and Grounds for the Kansas City Kansas Public Schools USD500. Leadership Skills for Maintenance Supervisors and Managers  Thanks Again

Joel (my reply): What a great story. Thanks for telling me (it made my day). Can I repeat your statement to my LinkedIn friends?

Kevin’s Reply: You bet, I highly recommend your class and can see how beneficial it will be to have your books on hand in the future. Love the concept of SIP Small Improvement Projects. This has been a real game changer and has inspired a group of seasoned fellas to get up and take ownership. I know to most people looking at the sink photo doesn’t amount to much but to someone walking by it for the first time like an outside contractor, it tells a real story.
