3. How do you find the training environment

Perhaps the course can be stretched out to 4-5 days instead of 2 days. I think better to have some Accounting & Financing knowledge and working experience for optimise on the learning.

The trainer is good and sharing with the class, relevant working knowledge practices apart from the book. I think if the course is spaced out to another few days more, the trainer can share & guide us more in depth knowledge, given her passion. :) (Posted on 2/22/2023)
