Hilary Lythgoe

Carolyn Nash

Incredibly engaging and clear

Will Mercer

Great instructor, knowledgeable and engaging throughout. Worked well with the class using group discussion and exercises to cement the concepts. Very relaxed and friendly.

John Barnacle-Bowd

Great trainer, and I really appreciated the fact that it was 4am for him on the East Coast when the training started. The training is a very long day in a very dry subject. Attendee participation was not great as most stayed off camera. Something should be done to get more engagement, whether it be mandatory camera use, or little tests or the odd quiz or 2 throughout the day to keep people engaged.

Lucy

Pleasant trainer - quickly aware of everyone on the course.
