A trainer with a wealth of knowledge, but organisational issues and a lack of time for this training course

A better balance between theory and practice would have been more appropriate for subjects that are so complex to grasp.

4 / 5
The trainer has such extensive knowledge of the subject that the time allocated to each topic ended up encroaching on the practical workshops. In fact, I am frustrated that we were unable to complete the full programme planned for this training session. The trainer remained fully available to assist participants whenever necessary. Given the content of this training course, it would seem appropriate to offer it over a longer period so that the full programme can be completed.
