Fabulous trainer i would definitely consider going on another course led by this trainer
Stuart Flanagan
Gary was super engaging and used lots of real-life examples to illustrate the course content. He's a great story-teller and has plenty of real-world experience to share in addition to the course theory. Gary was very accommodating of our international time zones and made the online course manageable (plenty of breaks, review time etc.)
