Keith definitely knows his stuff!. I’ve learned a lot from him, he is patient and extremely helpful. If you’re struggling with something, he will gladly give you more information and help you without making you feel stupid. Couldn’t fault him, he is very approachable and helpful.
Keith is the best guy I’ve ever had the privilege to be taught by with his knowledge on the subjects and his jokes that make time go by fast, there was never a boring day at this course and that is thanks to Keith making it fun for everyone he really is the best
