"I enjoyed the courses very much. They were especially helpful to me because I do not have a strong mathematical background. I would recommend the courses to anyone that intends to do risk analysis, especially beginners. In addition, the social events and activities at the courses at Oxford and St. Emilion were great fun! Perhaps most important has been David's willingness to provide help and guidance after the courses."

"Mr Vose provided seminars and workshops on risk assessment, commencing with basic principles, and extending into more complex risk assessment methods. At each training session, Mr Vose communicated clearly and concisely, providing excellent notes and worksheets. The focus of our interest in risk assessment has been primarily in the field of animal health, and later plant health. Mr Vose was able to demonstrate the immediate applicability of an impressive range of techniques in both of these areas. It is a credit to Mr Vose that he was able to work with people from very different mathematical backgrounds, and his patience with beginners was commendable."

"The example problems were challenging/probing and particularly suited to the types of analysis we are expected to conduct in our work. Excellent practical instruction, built on strong statistical theory."

"I believe that David's courses are immensely useful for people with little or perhaps informal training in quantitative methodologies. The courses are careful structured and interactive, and provide participants with many worked example to use as templates for further studies. David is an enthusiastic lecturer who manages to bring to life a discipline which is both technically difficult and intuitively daunting."

"Your course was certainly one of the best courses I ever received. I learned a lot and never got bored."

"The 2 week course on risk modelling for animal health and food safety that I took in France from David Vose was very informative. Not only did I learn the basics of risk assessment, but also how to put such models in perspective of the total risk analysis process. I also enjoyed spending 2 weeks with other professionals who are working on similar projects and have similar needs and problems to solve. The new network created will prove useful in my professional career."

"David is an excellent teacher, who understands the virtue of keeping things as simple as possible. On the other hand, he never hesitates to try out some new and almost always improved solution to a problem during class. This combination is very beneficial. Having attended four of his courses, I can say that I have returned from everyone of them having understood nearly all of what has been taught, and still feeling that I have been updated on the very latest techniques."
