The BTGT students were receptive, willing to learn and proactive to assist the consumers to make the right selection,have positive attitude and a helping hand to all the staff, cooperative and willing to take responsibility as and when entrusted. We are extremely satisfied with their performance. All this has been possible due to the skills they inherited from the training imparted by BTGT
