Christopher Entwhislt

Trainer was informative with correct balance achieved between powerpoint slides and labs

Gaz Davies

Very knowledgeable SME and confident in delivery. Checked prior knowledge and assessed understanding throughout. One opportunity is how prior knowledge is assumed or tested- sometimes, going in cold with technical terms that would be new to anyone on a Power BI course were asked, to silence from the room. That small piece of feedback aside, the trainer had an engaging demeanour, was incredibly well dressed and was well composed throughout the three days.
