Very knowledgeable with quite a practical approach to the training. A totally different and positive experience than online.

Vivek Acharya

Kester took the time to explain concepts clearly and has great examples!

Daniel Steeves

I believe Kester did a good job teaching the course. It can be difficult to cover so much material in a matter of days, but I think he handled it well. He very thorough throughout the course of the training. My feedback would be to add knowledge checks while showing the material. It can be difficult to stay engaged with the material being read to you over hours and hours.
