The equipment provided was adequate: the MacBook was perfect, but unfortunately the network wasn’t up to scratch (the internet connection kept cutting out), probably due to the heat. The trainer was very knowledgeable. The programme requires a deeper understanding (answering questions only leads to further questions).
