A good trainer, with a high level of expertise and considerable experience; it’s a shame we can’t do this in person, as that would allow for better communication and interaction between participants. The participants are quite far apart,

The content is rich and varied, the only thing that could be improved is the media. The teaching is excellent, with the group remaining focused and involved in all the subjects. What's more, the responsiveness of the answers is very much appreciated: even if the trainer doesn't initially know the subjects in depth (which is normal), Mélanie generally finds the answers the same day or the next morning.

Very interesting content, the theory is completely understood. All that's left is for me to apply the theory in practice and build on it. A bit more practice would have been nice, but in 3 days, it's understandable not to be able to do everything.the only flaw in the course is the course material, which is a bit tired.otherwise the course was top notch! Thank you very much!
