Our Mission
“The Ministry of Defence is extremely
pleased with the collaboration. In my role as the spider in the web I
am particularly satisfied with the way in which all agreements are met:
Elycio Talen makes perfect arrangements for the lecturers, and they are
always on time, give the lessons in a highly professional manner - and they
are all very pleasant. In addition, I'd also like to compliment you on
your efforts, especially because I frequently submit registrations late.
However, these are always processed very smoothly as well.”
A. Pennings, Ministry of Defence, DIVI/OTR Ede
