very clear, very good explanation, wishing more teachers would train like this
Mihaela - Phillip Morris
Course - Excel Basics
Explanations ‘in everyone’s language’; the fact that we were answered every time and explained in at least two ways what, how, and from where; the atmosphere created and the fact that despite there being a lot of math, we didn’t feel it; the trainer's experience demonstrated through well-reasoned explanations, but never overly technical; the trainer’s passion: it is clear that they really enjoy what they do :)

I appreciated the trainer's way of interacting with all the participants, the willingness to provide any requested information and the interest shown in each topic so that it was well understood. The course was very interactive, with a lot of information and examples, and the exercises were also very useful for checking and reinforcing knowledge.
