(5.00 out of 5) [ 10 July, 2025 ]

This was an excellent course for a complete beginner like me. Our instructor Sean was brilliant, knowledgeable and ever so personable. He made the content and course enjoyable, and I very much enjoyed the pace, and appreciate the care shown throughout. You know you have a great instructor when you are kept engaged on what can be a rather dry subject. We need more instructors like Sean!
