What others say
What I enjoyed most were the practical tips, which can be implemented straight away.
- Lisa De Vries
I appreciated the diverse range of practical and mostly-relevant topics, covered from different angles (theory, tools, anecdote, hypothetical scenario, real scenario), with a specific target audience that could find affinity.
- Joel Nothman
I like the fact that the course is interactive and does small workshops and troubleshooting so that we can practice applying the advice given, which is normally the most challenging part!
