     Det er vor erfaring, at det bedste resultat netop opnås ved at lade alle deltage efter bedste evne istedet for at anvende konsulenter og få et forkromet strømlinet system, som ikke bruges mere, når først certifikatet er i hus.

     It is our experience that the best result is achieved precisely be letting everyone participate to the best of their abilities instead of using consultants and getting a perfect streamlined system that isn't being used anymore once the certificate has been gotten.
