"Overall, it was a valuable experience. At first, I found the content quite heavy and struggled to keep up, especially in the early stages. It wasn’t as interactive as I had hoped, which made it a bit challenging to stay engaged. Looking back, I feel that incorporating more interactive elements, such as quizzes after each lesson could have really helped reinforce learning and kept us all actively involved. That being said, as the course progressed, I gained a much better understanding of the material. I’ve learned so many useful skills, and my confidence has grown significantly. I now feel much more prepared and excited for the future! A huge thank you to our tutor, Martin for his support throughout the training."
