"The content was clear, concise and presented well. Talking over the three days, somehow our instructor was able to keep the material engaging and not boring. He went into extra details on topics when there was time, went beyond the course material and deepened my understanding of and contextualised many of my real world skills."

"The instructor was very knowledgeable and took time to explain concepts even outside the course."
