Satisfied with course, lot of information to take in however. But understanding a 3day course may not be viable for employers

Rupert is clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about what he teaches and this makes the course more enjoyable and the subject easier to understand. He adds to this by using real work examples of where issues have been identified. The course material fully supported the learning objectives. However; most if not all of the hyperlinks within the slidepack are broken.

Only comments would be bigger visual aids. Some diagrams in handouts too small to read and the presentation didn’t always follow the order in the handout. Therefore, difficult to make notes. Trainer delivery was outstanding, interesting with exceptional knowledge
