Training a little long 1/2 day less would be better

The trainer was great, she knew her subject and passed it on in a very pleasant way. The exercises were too focused on IT, which sometimes made them impossible for me, even though some parts were still doable. The last point on CANVAS wasn't bad except that I couldn't use it at work which reduced its usefulness.
