Nothing to mention. Everything was great!
Mike never fails to deliver great training and always provides great source/material to refer to for anyone's knowledge. I am a true fan of his training style and always walk away with key knowledge that has always helped me for my working role.
I didn't feel like i was in training as it was more like a workshop, which is a good thing. Mike used his knowledge, background info and also the challenges we face with our own projects and helped to unpick how to solve them, which meant we learnt as we were going. Mike did this in a fun way and constantly engaged everyone in the room. It was a really great session that I've taken away lots from and shared with my colleagues already :)
