Attendees comments

"The trainer responded to all questions and was able to give appropriate answers. It was a good mix of theory and practical exercises."

Bastian Simon

"The trainer conveyed the individual topics very clearly and responded very well to the individual questions. He gave us various tasks, which were discussed together, which I thought was very good. We also had to work in small teams again and again. He was always able to answer questions immediately. In general, he brought a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere to the group, which made the two days of training very enjoyable! We could have gone on and on."
