Making technical topics easy to understand. Illustrations were simple yet clear, sharing of experience were on point and very relatable across geographies. It’s obvious that Rafe knows his stuff and able to provide his own opinions candidly and in a manner that is able to capture the essence of each subtopics. Strongly recommended for anyone interested to learn more on any topics on lubricants.

…it exceeded my expectations in every aspect. The course was expertly structured, offering a thorough understanding of lubrication principles, application methods, and maintenance practices that are critical to my industry (Mining).
The instructor demonstrated deep knowledge of lubrication systems, clearly explaining both the theoretical foundations and practical applications. Their ability to break down complex concepts into manageable, real-world examples made the learning process engaging and accessible. Keeping me engaged is no small feet and on this alone is a testament to Rafe teaching style.
