He's very knowledgable and makes the learning fun and exciting! I always leave the course hungry for more and think he's just brilliant at what he does!! The course had really good structure and Wolf wasn't phased when we asked him questions that weren't in his teaching plan - he just showed us what we needed to know! Thank you for yet another wonderful learning experience! The two days went incredibly quickly, but I feel I learnt a lot during that time and was able to take ample notes accordingly throughout - Wolf was more than happy to re-explain things that I'd missed due to note taking which was really helpful!! I will be back!!!"
