Course Is clear, learnt some good tips and tricks. Ben is also great.
Changing and tailoring examples to things we had worked on ourselves.
The course was well organised and the trainer was very knowledgable. Really enjoyed my time here at Media Training.
Able to ask questions and follow up with questions he was unable to answer on the spot.
I thought Tom explained everything super well. Not just taking us through the motions and following him but explaining why. I also thought…
Lunch was on point - trainer was good :)
Really relevant examples, not too advanced or too much information. So the amount of new things was really easy to understand, not too over…
