Web Dynamics Lecturer: Jacqui Classroom training
Really enjoyed this virtual course. Student set-up instructions and requirements before first session were clear and straight forward. It was my first virtual course and I am impressed and relieved that I managed so well, even with the practical exercises, helped that I could carry in evening if I wanted to. I felt the course really was presented by Charles in a way to support the learner and learning experience without adding stress or lower self confidence.
