The training was perfect in my opinion, opened my eyes to a lot of things that I was not aware of. Straight to the point with a lot of exercises, for some people it was too fast maybe but due to my background experience I did not feel that way.

The specialist knowledge was amazing! The way that you took that and broke it up, so we could understand was awesome. I think i just have to start with the simple stuff. the Last Subject was a bit high level and I struggled to keep up but will get there :)
