What do you want to know? I did my Trimix ticket with an ANDI Instructor, the materials were ok and the Instructor was very knowledgeable. I was very impressed with the speed of delivery of the cert card, most unusual, all done online with a digi photo being emailed to them.

well I did my Inspiration course by ANDI and compare to the TDI Manual it was better.
But since I've returned home very few people know ANDI Courses.
My doubt was if this certification is well know out there

I think they're fairly well known, ANDI is quite popular in Germany mainly because they bother to print their manuals in German, something that TDI were slow to do (if they're even available now). I also found the quality of my ANDI manual far better than the poorly photocopied TDI stuff.

ANDI have been around ages, although they've not really succeeded in the UK.

Their history included a heavily backed up argument for why you needed to O2 clean kit for anything above 23%, which went down like a lead balloon with UK teckies. That and they used cameron bell for a while.... <grins>

I used to be an ANDI instructor, excellent materials (as you say), but they're just way behind the race in the UK.

I'll have you know that not a single Conger was seen (or mentioned) during the entire nitrox course Cammy ran for us at Neptune, although it was a close run thing when he was pressed for his definition of long stops. Answer: 'Oh, 3, 4 minutes'. Much sniggering ensued
