Well-structured and organised content. The trainer was dynamic and adapted well to our questions and requests throughout the three-day training course.One minor criticism regarding the exercises: it would have been useful to practise on practical case studies related to the course title, namely an IT project. A good balance between theory and practice.

Very interesting content, particularly for getting to grips with a very useful piece of software. It was sometimes quite difficult to follow the topics, as they aren’t ones I’d deal with on a day-to-day basis. The teaching was very good; the trainer was excellent.

Lots of practical examples. The workbooks are perhaps a little too prescriptive.
