The course was interesting and well structured, but some subjects were not covered in sufficient depth. I feel that I'm still missing some important information, perhaps working methods or concrete tools that would have enabled me to go further in applying the concepts covered.

Benoît is a good listener who doesn't hesitate to come back to subjects when you haven't followed them properly or if you need more explanations. Quite full for only two days, but we have the advantage of having support material for a few more.
