"Tremendous! Well organized and a fount of knowledge."
"I was overwhelmed by the abilities of the instructor - a week so full of information it was almost too much to process - could not have been better."
"The instructor was very practical, approachable and helpful. The methodical, hands-on instruction was just what I needed to feel confident on teaching the course."
