Steve is massively knowledgeable and a fantastic presenter. I’d love to have had the opportunity to work with him over an extended period, his knowledge of the industry is staggering. The content is hugely
interesting – I wasn’t expecting for so much of the content to be unknown to me but so relevent to how I should be running my team. There is alot of content to consume in one week – I’ll need to keep revising over the coming
weeks!
Great course and very informative. Very happy overall. Constructive feedback: Some modules and content can be better prepared or completely removed.. Some questions from Module review are ambiguous. At times we had to rush into some content to get through the day even when starting early.
