Michelle Howell

Alex led the course really well. It was an intensive course with a lot of material to cover, but the pace felt right and was manageable throughout. I particularly liked the way Alex regularly asked questions at random. It kept everyone engaged and also helped confirm our understanding and that we were following the material. There was a good level of interaction across the group, and Alex was always approachable and happy to answer any questions that came up. The scheduled breaks and lunch were also well timed and gave us an opportunity to step away, decompress and reset before moving on to the next section. Overall, I found the course engaging, well structured and well delivered
