fit into the company, what is expected of you as an employee and as a future
supervisor.

• One hundred percent commitment to the learning process. Learners

are encouraged to study any additional source of information relevant
to this learning process.

clearly stated to learners that a 100% complete record of learning, as
prescribed by this logbook, is their sole responsibility. Any document
