Formateur très pédagogue, utilisant une méthode qui implique les personnes formées. Dynamique, le codage se fait en direct pour expliquer chaque notion, ponctué d’exercices adaptés à la progression et anticipant les erreurs que peuvent faire les étudiants. Très bonne formation pour remettre le pied à l’étrier ou pour débuter. Formateur bienveillant, à l’écoute des questions, qui répond de manière extensive et s’adapte sans jugement à son public. Super.
