"I would definitely recommend that you do the onsite training rather than remote. Though remote was practical, I believe face to face engagement would add more value as its the conversations you have during breaks, evenings etc that also add value."
Luke Walshe, British Telecommunication. (10/5/2023 (Wednesday) to 12/5/2023 (Friday))
"Our instructor was very professional and provided alot of detail in the course. He also provided support on the admin aspects /paperwork that needed to be completed for the exam"
