The course was very informative and interactive. It was also good to hear from other participants about their experiences.
The trainer was probably one of the best, absolute BEST trainers, I have ever been taught by! Knowledgeable to no end, entertaining, funny, witty, and I learned a lot. I would do another training courses with this tutor in a heartbeat.
