A really good balance of presentation and interactive exercises. The content was varied and thorough and exceeded its promise of teaching the fundamentals. Aimee’s presentation skills are excellent and her teaching style was friendly, confident and inclusive.
Our trainer was enthusiastic and engaging. I liked the breakout sessions and having the ability to work in teams to explore different ideas.
