Would also appreciate the course to commence at 9am-5.30pm to give more time. Some
Parts of the course was rushed. Instructor (Marcel) was excellent in facilitating the course which was a challenging subject to most attendees but he managed to explain it clearly and took the effort to describe in layman terms. (Posted on 2/18/2020)
