Fine, but too similar to the XRAY course

- On applying the material to real-life examples. Perhaps we could change the approach: allow us some time to explore things for ourselves (5–10 minutes) and then go through a general review with the whole group. This helps us get a better feel for the tool and explore the menus for ourselves. We’ve tended to do a lot of things together instead, which is fine, but I think we retain the information less well that way. - Kahoot quiz: a good way to liven up the training. Thank you

The content is tailored to the original training programme, but it is not tailored to the starting level of each participant, particularly my own. As a novice in managing projects of this scale, I did not find all of the content useful.
