Course Reviews
Course was extremely worthwhile, and I would highly recommend. A lot of very good information taught and will greatly assist in my day-to-day work.
Sean was very helpful & informative, they took the time explaining the ins and outs and assisted with all queries arising during the course.
Sean kept the two days interesting and engaging and was always open to questions and issues. Thank you so much, it was exactly what I needed.
Really great starter course. Sean was a terrific teacher - very thorough and never rushed - allowed the pace to flow, but would slow up when requested - answered questions well and explained in detail - I enjoyed the star wars references and Dad jokes as well!
