What our customers are saying
Great course, Yasser was very fantastic ! Tailoring the course where needed to help give real life examples. pace of the course was great and found it very useful as a refresher and definitely learnt a few new tricks. would recommend.
Thomas Booty
Yasser was excellent. A far better trainer than the last time I took this course. He spoke in detail about each topic and never just read from slides. He applied everything to real world scenarios which helped with understanding. He left us to do labs in our own time which was great because this meant there was more time on the course for details and discussion.
