1. Do you find the course meet your expectation? 2. Do you find the trainer knowledgeable in this subject? 3. How do you find the training environment
2) please provide some basic/minimal level of refreshments, or at least water to participants
The training rooms were way too small and cramp. And the training went on despite only having 2 participants. It would have been more beneficial and less awkward if there were other participants from other industries to help expand our understanding cross industries. Thankfully the trainer was experienced and could share sufficiently despite the small number of participants. (Posted on 4/20/2023) - will recommend Review by Course Participant/Trainee
