Thoroughly enjoyed this course. It has been a very relaxed atmosphere which in turn has helped with the complexity of the course that we have undertaken. Andy has been very supportive throughout the course and gone the extra mile to make sure we understand the various parts of it. I feel I have learnt a great deal and will be coming away with new found knowledge that will benefit me in the future even though I have already been in the industry for a long time. I would like to say a massive thankyou.
