Very dense content. It would be interesting to have more concrete examples to better 'impress' the concepts.José is a super trainer! Available, friendly and precise, he's a wealth of knowledge :-)

To be honest, I didn't enjoy the course, despite the kindness and professionalism of the trainer. The content was crammed in: the days ended with headaches and still required revision. The PowerPoint aids are outdated and the training does not incorporate modern practices (online platform, mock exams, autonomy). It becomes more stressful than effective before certification.

The presenter is very friendly. There is a lack of concrete cases to illustrate the theory.
