"Easy speed"The speed of our training course was perfect. It was split in to bitesize chunks so you are able to absorb the information better.Adam Lewis, CAD Engineer, Bronx Engineering"Best thing I've done in a while!"Thanks for organising the course for me. I really enjoyed it, was one the best things I’ve done in a long time. I was thinking of booking on it again in 12 months’ time as a refresher. Stefan was great and really helpful he made the course very relaxed and enjoyable.Tom Broadbent, Director, MJB Engineering"Nice pace"The training was delivered in a relaxed manner where we could learn at our own speed, however there was always a task ready for those who progressed at a quicker pace.Annalisa Wrubel, Digital Support Specialist, Altro
