February 2024 - Lee roberts
Ben was fab. Very knowledgeable and engaging. The venue is good the lunches are great. The materials are good. The only issues are that when doing the tests on the tablets no feedback is given on any wrong answers so personal improvement is not possible. The written parts are laborious with lots of duplicate answers . There are other ways to get the information needed from us. My hands hurt.
