Bye Stadthaus - it is time to move on

Exactly 4 years ago ANI started the cooperation with RenĂ© Schudel and the Stadthaus.  In the meantime we logged 72 instruction weeks there, several dinners and lunches and even held a full shebang ICAO IFPP meeting there. With the end of the spring Semester end of June this year, this successful cooperation comes to an end. Not that we had any problems there, the opposite is the case. We had brilliant 4 years. But it is time to move on. ANI soon moves to the new and own premises right next to Interlaken West, where we will start operations in August. It will be a state of the art training location with an infrastructure that will push the learning curve. Also we overhaul the training concept and will take it to the next level. Come and see.
