Training sessions are interesting but long, I think shorter sessions would be more useful.

The overhall course is quite good. Mark's PC was very slow dealing with the tool and the Zoom app, but he took a very good attitude using that loading time to follow the excercises with us and telling us tips and tricks.

provided a good overall educational experience and covered all the relevant sections of the program to a satisfactory degree. As our needs for the program are specific the challenge was delivering the relevant content which was achieved well, alongside the inclusion of some bespoke examples which is also appreciated

I found the course to be a little slow-paced for me. But I think that's because I'm fairly competent picking up and using new systems so I learn and understand quicker than others might; and also because the instructor (Craig) gave such clear, simple instructions and explanations that I found it all fairly easy. I would also suggest sending the link through to downloading course materials earlier than 1.5 working days before. I had technical issues that meant I was still trying to download the materials in the 20 minutes before the course started. Had the link been sent through 5 working days beforehand, the issues and solution would have been sorted in advance.

Mark was brilliant throughout and extremely knowledgeable. He supported us throughout even going above and beyond in helping us get access to the various resources required for the session. Due to our systems and protections in place, downloading files from external websites or emails can be challenging and can take up to a week to get approved. Having access to these files earlier would be beneficial.
