Mr. Marek Koj spoke very clearly and at a slower pace. He said various interesting facts, useful official and secret. The form of participating in the course individually is calm, you can focus and ask as much as possible.

Everything was done at a perfectly adjusted pace in an understandable and accessible way, enabling effective learning and expanding one's competences. The trainer is a qualified person who can explain many issues in order to improve the projects completed during the course. Using simple examples, it shows and analyzes important aspects that are needed to create more advanced models. I consider the training to be very successful.

The trainer has an appropriate approach to training and conducts classes equally with each participant. No one had the right to feel lost. All key information and the most important things regarding the training were recorded in a separate document that was made available to us. No one has 100% knowledge in a given field, but the lecturer's knowledge is close to it. The provided methods of operation and use of the program contain many ways to find the goal, and the pros and cons of each approach are discussed, which allows us to find the right tool and methodology for our working flow.
