Ronald, Oostzaan

Relaxed and very professional

I felt the instructor taught the material in an interactive, fun (with humor) professional manner. There was room for discussion, deliberation and that created a nice atmosphere in the classroom. Training was fine in terms of structure and biggest compliments to the instructor.
