Dr Alvin is a passionate and effective instructor who delivered the course content well. He provided relevant applications and use cases for the tools on Tableau. Furthermore, Dr Alvin was generous with his sharing of knowledge and experience.

The class encountered several technical challenges during our two-day workshop. Perhaps the centre could review the HDMI cable and adaptor so that learning can be facilitated smoothly. (Posted on 3/10/2023)

Attended 2 days Tableau course conducted by Dr Alvin Ang. Well explained with informative content and relevant to me professionally. Dr Alvin Ang is a very engaging trainer and would recommend this course to all. I really enjoyed this 2 days course.

Course is for people who don't know anything about tableau. You will learn how to do various graphs and dashboards. Alvin explains things clearly but sometimes it feels like he has had a tad too much coffee ;) For training classroom, pls provide more comfortable chairs with a cushion at least. Nevertheless recommended to come to classroom instead of zoom as it's much easier to troubleshoot. (Posted on 2/10/2023)

The course conducted by Dr. Alvin Ang was useful in providing an overview and introduction to participants without Tableau experience. Dr. Alvin Ang also ensure that all participants were able to follow the lesson, before he progressed with the lesson. Beyond the course curriculum, it would be very useful if Dr. Alvin Ang could include some other useful Tableau functions for classes that progress at a faster speed. (Posted on 2/10/2023)
