99 per cent of what we saw interested me; 100 per cent of our questions were answered; the difficulty level increased gradually; it feels a bit rushed towards the end, but it’s still manageable.

A very interesting course, packed with content. It’s quite comprehensive and very enriching. But two days isn’t long enough to take all the information on board.
