To be honest, I had been slightly concerned about participating in a full day’s course remotely, especially as I had never used Zoom before, but the trainer was excellent and put everyone at their ease and was knowledgeable and engaging. I found the material really interesting and the time flew by! I really liked the mix of whole group learning and break out groups.”
