(4.80 out of 5) [ 20 March, 2024 ]

For the first hour or so, I really wasn't sure we were going to cover the subjects due to technical issues by one attendee who was struggling with her set up however Cath was remarkably patient. The pace did speed up and I then learnt quite a few things.

Awesome course, it covered a lot and Mark explained things really well and made it comfortable to ask questions and ensure I understood what was being taught.

Had the importance of how to use word properly within the beginner's course. This course also showed me a lot about the basics that I needed to know.
