Sandy Skor (trained occupational therapist)
"A big compliment to the Heimerer Schools in Torgau. I successfully completed my training as an occupational therapist here because all the teachers and staff do a great job. Especially during the pandemic, every effort was made to provide students with a "normal" education. Lecturers always had an open ear for problems and questions. I would choose this school with its professional expertise again and again and can recommend it to others!"
