Hear from our workshop attendees
The level of preparation was excellent, with great materials supporting the face to face and hands on experience. Format is right and enthusiasm and knowledge of the presenter is great. Most valuably, I learned how the program manages “non-standard” situations. This is what I was hoping to gain, so spot on there.
There were a few key tips and tricks that were super handy, along with a great fundamental understanding of the software to determine limitations/ capabilities.
