Course Reviews
(5.00 out of 5) Phoebe C [ 05 April, 2018 ]
I had been warned that this course would mostly involve reading straight from the book so I was really pleased that it was not like this. Peter was really energetic and encouraging throughout and ensured no one fell behind. I feel like I learnt more than just the essentials. I know I have learnt a lot and hope I can implement it!

Really appreciated the time the trainer took to step through key elements of planning for a project and ways to shortcut e.g. Ctrl + Z
(5.00 out of 5) camille [ 20 March, 2018 ]
Very useful - a good starting overview of project. Even though i realise there is so mich more i can do with it - it's a great starting place.

This was very useful and I have learnt so much that i can take back and apply in my workplace. Grant has offered his experience and tips to ensure the understanding of the application is well adhered to.
