Testimonials (2)
The structure was good, each section had a clear purpose and was easy enough to follow. The exercises were useful and the trainer was helpful when issues eventually arose. The relaxed approach regarding the labs was also something that I enjoyed. Props to the trainer for keeping a chill & friendly attitude throughout the training, even after some of the attendees gave up on the whole experience.
