The trainer is very knowledgeable, and he did a great job delivering the subject information. I would highly recommend him to anyone who's looking for a trainer in the business analysis subject.
Amal Alzuhair
I recently completed a course with Tom Ryan, and it was fantastic. He explained complex topics clearly and were always available for questions. The course was well-organized, balancing theory and practice perfectly. Tom's passion and dedication made learning enjoyable and effective. Highly recommend!
Michael Ekong
Tom was really informative, had plenty of real life examples. Some where a little harder to follow at times, or apply back to the logic but after further questioning/explanation it would link back eventually, especially some of the gardening analogies.
