Development Level

Develop

  • The course was conducted in a very much professional way in terms of sharing the material and relevant information well in advance, punctuality, well managed sessions and the contents. The trainers' experience was visible and the participants also had some very relevant queries and thoughts. The workshops conducted in groups in a remote workshop is something commendable - the switching over to separate meeting rooms was seamless and quick. While I understand the limitation of the time available.

  • Obviously a very experienced and knowledgeable speaker. Provides a jam packed presentation style that provides a significant amount of information providing background to the slide text.

  • Very interesting training with good presentations and interactions.
