"I chose to learn from the best. When it comes to ergonomic evaluation methods, Worksite International is the way to go, and Alison Heller-Ono is the person to teach you. She is skillful, humble, passionate, teaching from personal experience, and excited to show you the way. What she teaches will help you achieve your goals and improve your knowledge in Ergonomic Evaluations, not just during the course, but beyond.
The course forced me to think and analyze every minor detail about how I was doing my evaluations. The way I used to perform my ergonomic evaluations was irregular and sloppy. Alison, helped me drop bad habits and start to cultivate good ones. I gained much more from the course than I ever anticipated."
