I think Iain went way over and above what was required to teach this content, he delivered the content and practical work with professionalism, enthusiasm and was committed that we understood.

I feel that there was to much information in to short a time, i think that more time should be given to deliver each section of the training, to get a better understanding
July 2021 - Angus Brummit-Brown
the course was very content heavy for the time allowed, however it covered all we would need to know, the trainer was very knowledgeable. I personally would have liked more time in the workshop. The venue was fine. I think that providing the copy of MSL1 to keep so that I could make notes on the document for future reference would have been a great benefit.
