Reviews
Excellent course, even for non-English people
The course is well explained and videos helped making it more interesting. Even though English is not my first language, both videos and written information were clear and easy to comprehend.
Clear and well balanced
The balance between visual and audio was a positive feature.
Effective and not overly long training
The training was to the point. I learnt useful information and/or got a refresher of my existing knowledge on this topic.
