The content and structure were very well organised and expertly delivered by the trainer. Perhaps an introductory slide could have been included outlining the overall schedule for the week: the structure comprising four (intensive) days plus one day of practical exercises, certification and debriefing.The feedback sessions are interesting, but care should be taken to ensure they do not affect the course timetable. The slides are very wordy: this is a drawback and makes the training somewhat cumb
