Well designed course that covers the process in the right amount of detail for different delegates, and was very interactive in getting delegates ideas and comments on areas. Presentation was simple and easy to follow given how much there was to cover, and was very well presented from Declan.

Content: quite good. Too many abbreviations in the first two lectures, for newbies this is very frustrating. Presentation was way above expectations given the nature of it (webinar). Speaker also good, knew what he was talking about, mostly knew his audience and extreme level of intensity throughout the course.
