Customer Feedback
What our clients say about
our services
„I really appreciated the fact that SAMTACS didn’t offer just
another pre-designed seminar where you always seem to get the same old content under
a new label. The know ho was well as the specific details that I picked up in this
course proved to be every applicable to my everyday work. The seminar atmosphere was
great, every single one of questions was answered in great detail and situations and
scenarios which were brought up throughout the course were dealt with in a highly
professional manner. Well Done.“
Chris M., Leipzig
„I was thrilled by the open-mindedness and
pro-active thinking of the instructors and the great emphasis they both put on
real world applications. The great professionalism created a relaxed atmosphere
that contributed to a highly productive and dynamic seminar environment. I was
convinced by the honest teaching style, high value information that are easy to
remember as well as the no-nonsense skills which I still use in my daily business.
Thank you.“
Carmen L., Dresden

The material covered will undoubtedly prove to be highly beneficial for our line of
work. It is therefore that we recommend Mr. Oesterreich as an instructor of the highest
caliber. His knowledge and instructional capabilities will allow the student to come
away well prepared, confident and capable.“
