What others say
Great facilitator, clearly well practiced at teaching the course and great at observing the whole class in how they are tracking, ensuring that everyone is keeping up. Felt like it was delivered with patience, even though there were clear crunch times to cover all the content. Would absolutely recommend.
- Stevie Jack Wilder
The tutor was a great communicator who is very good at contextualising the content to help us understand. He was very patient with any tech issues that came up. I learnt a lot and was pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Great course
- Leigh Delacy
