The content is comprehensive and the exercises challenging. The fact that solutions are provided is a real bonus, as it allows everyone to decide whether or not to use them. The training materials appear to be comprehensive and suitable for revision.

I think the course – and especially the lab sessions – would benefit from examples based on more modern applications to better prepare us for the practices of 2026.Furthermore, my biggest criticism is that I feel as though I’m following a recipe in the practical sessions; they don’t encourage us to think for ourselves. Otherwise, the balance between lectures and practical work was very well managed.

A trainer who has clearly cut his teeth in the field, and who can answer any practical question from a wealth of experience. The course materials and exercises provide a solid introduction to the subject, whilst offering enough to allow you to explore it further on your own. Very pleased!
