The content could have been fascinating and highly instructive, but too many points led to dissatisfaction. - the time wasted with people who can't use the envs made available and who are therefore too limited if there's no workaround, so we looked for workarounds... - the supports are not of good quality and have to be supplemented with elmts sent on teams, which limits clarity. - A lot of imprecision or lack of knowledge on certain essential subjects

The training didn't seem to be structured, and we wasted a lot of time correcting exercises because the instructor made too many mistakes. The material was not appropriate, nor was the knowledge imparted, which on several occasions lacked clarity and precision. The answers to the exercises were not provided, and there was no link to the corrections either, which was a shame. The course would have benefited from being more detailed, at least in order to start with a good understanding of the subj
